Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Baht - Rama V (Copper-nickel Pattern; medal alignment; Reeded edge) ND (1869) from Thailand is that it was designed by a British engraver named Charles George Lewisson, who was commissioned by the Thai government to create a new coinage system for the country. This coin features a portrait of King Rama V on one side and a depiction of a Thai temple on the other, and its reeded edge was a unique feature for coins at the time.
