One interesting fact about the 1 Baht - Rama II ND (1809-1824) coin from Thailand is that it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used in coinage at the time. This decision to use silver was likely influenced by the country's economic and trade ties with China, where silver was a highly valued commodity. The use of silver in Thai coinage during this period signifies the importance of international trade and economic exchange in shaping the country's monetary system.
