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 Salueng - Rama IV (Hammering trial strike) ND (1856) from Thailand made of Silver weighing 3.80 g 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 and has been largely replaced by modern minting techniques, making coins minted in this way highly sought after by collectors.
