Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Baht - Rama V (Silver Pattern; Medal alignment; Reeded edge) ND (1869) from Thailand made of Silver is that it was designed by a British engraver named Charles George Lewes, 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 the Thai symbol of the "Dusit Throne" on the other. The coin's reeded edge was a unique feature for Thai coins at the time and was intended to prevent counterfeiting.
