Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Baht - Rama V (Nickel Pattern; Coin alignment) ND (1869) from Thailand is that it features a unique coin alignment, with the coin's design rotated 180 degrees relative to the normal orientation. This unusual alignment was likely intentional, as it creates a mirror-like effect when the coin is viewed from certain angles. This feature, combined with the coin's nickel composition and relatively low weight, makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
