Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Baht - Rama V (Copper Pattern; Coin alignment; Plain edge) ND (1869) from Thailand is that it was designed by a British engraver named James P. Atkinson. Atkinson was a prominent engraver who also designed coins for other countries, including the United States. The coin's design features a portrait of King Rama V on one side and a depiction of a Thai temple on the other. The coin was minted in 1869 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. It is made of copper and weighs 8.1 grams.
