Comment
The gold coin Tot-Pit-Paddueng of Rama V period was not intended to be in circulation, but just a restrike of the ones of the Rama IV period. The elephant in the center of Rama V Paddueng will be larger.Normally, the Chakra side is blurred in contrast of the Crown side, which has sharp details.
