Interesting fact

The 1 Att / ⅛ Fuang coin from Thailand, which was minted during the reign of King Rama V (1875-1883), features a unique blend of traditional Thai design elements and Western-style coinage features. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a standing Buddha, while the reverse side features a stylized floral pattern and the Thai script for the coin's denomination. This blending of styles reflects the influence of Western culture on Thai currency during the late 19th century, and makes the coin a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
