Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Baht - Rama V (Nickel Pattern; Medal alignment; Plain edge) ND (1869) from Thailand was designed by a British engraver named James P. Atkinson. Atkinson was a prominent engraver who also designed coins for other countries, including the United States. The coin's design features a portrait of King Rama V on one side and a depiction of a Thai temple on the other. The coin was minted in 1869 as a pattern coin, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. It is made of nickel and weighs 15.7 grams.
