Trial strikes to replace bullet coins with flat coins, but only a few were made without going to circulation.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Non-circulating coin 1 Fueang - Rama IV (Hammering trial strike) ND (1856) from Thailand made of Silver weighing 2 g is that it is a rare and unique coin that was minted during the reign of King Rama IV (also known as King Mongkut) in the mid-19th century. The coin was minted using a hammering technique, which was a traditional method of coin production at the time, and it features a distinctive design that sets it apart from other coins of the era. Additionally, the fact that it is made of silver and weighs 2 grams makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
