As previously said, the Seal of Royal Lion serves as the emblem of the Ministry of Interior. The ministries usually had one main seal and one minor seal. Some of them had one more seal, being a medium seal.
The main seal was used on sealed missives issued by Čhāophrayā Čhakkrī[b 1] for transmitting the king’s commands and major matters relating or referring to those commands.
The medium seal was used for sealing envelopes and used on letters issued to outer towns by a ministerial representative during the absence of the Secretary of State for Interior. Later, its use on envelopes was discontinued as coloured papers were used for sealing instead.
The minor seal was used on letters issued by a Deputy Secretary of State for Interior to outer towns without reference to a king’s command and was for the Secretary to carry with him during official expeditions to outer towns. It was also used on public documents which required to be specifically ordered, done, or notified by the Secretary. HRH Prince Kromphrayā Naritsarānuwattiwong
