Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Pattern ½ Tamlueng - Rama V (Coat of Arms; Copper Pattern; coin alignment) ND (1877) from Thailand made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai design elements and Western-style heraldry. The coin's obverse features a depiction of the royal coat of arms, which was introduced by King Rama V in 1873, and includes a shield with the symbol of the Chakri dynasty, a crown, and two elephants. The reverse features a stylized floral pattern, which is a common motif in Thai art and architecture. This blend of East and West design elements makes the coin a fascinating example of cultural exchange and influence.
