Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Tamlueng - Rama V (Copper-nickel Pattern) ND (1869) from Thailand is that it features a unique blend of traditional Thai design elements and Western-style numismatic motifs. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of King Rama V in a modern Western-style, while the reverse features a stylized representation of the Thai symbol for "tamlueng," or "money," which is a traditional Thai design element. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the reign of King Rama V, who ruled Thailand from 1868 to 1910 and was known for his efforts to modernize and Westernize the country.
