thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 07/22/2010 6:52 pm I can't see a bank issuing a note that advertises something to do with cooking. Beef stews and ragouts? Someone's pastilles and something made with acid-free plants - "It's a marvellous liquid"? In conjunction with the obverse I wonder if it was an advertising gimmick to do with the French involvement with the initial building of the Panama Canal (eventually abandoned by them after the loss of over 20,000 lives!).
