Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Siao / ¼ Fuang coin from Thailand made of Copper weighing 7.55g is that it was minted during the reign of King Rama IV (also known as King Mongkut) in the mid-19th century. This coin was a part of the first standardized coinage system introduced in Thailand, which aimed to replace the various local currencies that were in use at the time. The coin's design features the Thai royal crest on one side and the denomination on the other. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin played an important role in the country's monetary system during that period.
