Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Salung - Rama V (Pattern) 128 (1909) from Thailand made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai design elements and Western-style coinage features. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of King Rama V in a traditional Thai style, while the reverse features a depiction of a mythical creature known as a "Naga" in a more Westernized style. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Thailand and Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
