Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Fuang - Rama V ND (1876-1900) coin from Thailand is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Thai king, King Rama V, on its obverse side. This was a departure from the previous design, which featured a depiction of the Thai goddess of fortune, Phra Kuan Yin. The inclusion of the king's image was a significant change in the coinage of Thailand and marked a shift towards a more modern and secular design.
