Not a banknote. This is a yantra amulet printed in the format of the Thai 100 Baht note — a devotional object, not a circulating instrument. Thailand's Currency Act makes it a criminal offence to reproduce official banknote designs, and the "short penalty" designation in the item's own name is a direct reference to that legal exposure. Vendors have historically worked around the prohibition by altering dimensions or adding text, though enforcement has been inconsistent.
The attribution to Thomas De La Rue is almost certainly borrowed from the source note's credentials, not a claim that De La Rue printed this amulet.
