Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Salueng - Rama V coin from Thailand is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai design elements and Western-style coinage features. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of King Rama V in a traditional Thai style, while the reverse side features a plain edge and a design of a Garuda, a mythical creature from Thai mythology, surrounded by a wreath. This blend of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence of Western powers on Thai currency during the late 19th century.
