Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Tamlueng - Rama IV ND (1851) coin from Thailand is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Rama IV in a traditional Thai style, while the reverse side features a Western-style wreath surrounding the coin's denomination and year of issue. This blending of design styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Thailand and Western nations during the 19th century.
