Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Baht - Rama V ND (1869-1870) coin from Thailand is that it was minted during a time of significant change in the country. King Rama V, who ruled from 1868 to 1910, implemented many modernizing reforms during his reign, including the introduction of a new currency system. The 1 Baht coin was part of this new system and was designed to replace the old system of bartering and using foreign currencies. The coin's design features an image of King Rama V on one side and the Thai symbol for "baht" on the other. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted and was eventually replaced by a new design in 1871. Today, the 1 Baht - Rama V ND coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of dollars.
