Comment
Interesting fact
The ½ Satang coin was minted during the reign of King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII), who was the king of Thailand from 1935 until his death in 1946. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured a portrait of the king on one side and the Thai symbol for "Satang" on the other. The ½ Satang coin was the smallest denomination in the series, with a value of half of a Satang, which was the equivalent of 1/8 of a Baht, the main currency unit in Thailand. It's interesting to note that the ½ Satang coin was made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at that time, but it's also a material that's not commonly used for coins today. Additionally, the fact that this coin was minted during a specific period in Thai history, and features a portrait of a king who played an important role in the country's history, makes it a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
