The principal difference between genuine (top row) and modern counterfeit (bottom row) pot duang coins.
Prasat is the Sanskrit word for palace, and is used as the royal emblem of Rama III. The Prasat was the first mark used on the regular issued pot duang coinage, first appearing in 1824. It was used continuously throughout the reign of Rama III, and was also used on gold pot duang issued in connection with the Phra Chetupon Temple celebrations of 1848.
