Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Fuang - Rama III (Bai Matum) ND (1838) coin from Thailand is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai and Western design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Rama III, while the reverse side features a depiction of a mythical creature known as a "Krathum" (a cross between a dragon and a horse) surrounded by intricate floral patterns. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Thailand and European nations during the 19th century.
