Interesting fact
The 1 Salueng coin from Thailand, which was minted during the reign of King Rama I (1785-1809), features an image of the king himself on one side and a depiction of the Thai symbol for "om" on the other. The use of the king's image on the coin was a departure from earlier Thai coins, which had traditionally featured images of the Buddha or other religious symbols. This change in design was a reflection of the increasing influence of Western culture and the growing power of the Thai monarchy during this period.
