Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Solot / 1⁄16 Fuang - Rama V ND (1868) coin from Thailand is that it was made of tin, which was a common material for coins in Thailand during that time period. This is notable because tin is a relatively soft and malleable metal, which made it easy to mint and shape into coins. However, it also means that the coin may have been more prone to wear and tear over time, and may have required more frequent minting to maintain its value.
