Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Salung coin from Thailand made of Silver (.900) weighing 3.77 g is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of King Rama IV (1851-1860) and was equivalent to 1/8 of a Baht, which was the standard unit of currency in Thailand at that time.
