Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) of Thailand, who was known for his efforts to modernize the country and introduce new currency systems. This coin, which was made of copper and had a unique design, was part of a series of coins introduced during his reign to replace the traditional bartering system that was still prevalent in rural areas. The coin's design featured the king's image on one side and a Thai character on the other, representing the country's shift towards modernization and the importance of the monarchy.
