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 1.85g is that it is a rare and unique coin that was minted using a hammering technique, which gives it a distinctive texture and appearance. This method of minting coins was used in the past, but it has largely been replaced by modern minting techniques. As a result, coins minted using this method are highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
