Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Tamlung coin from Thailand made of Silver weighing 1210g is that it was minted during the reign of King Rama IV (also known as King Mongkut) who was a key figure in the modernization of Thailand. He reigned from 1851 to 1868 and during his reign, he introduced many Western-style reforms, including the creation of a modern currency system, which led to the minting of coins like the 20 Tamlung. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of Thailand's currency.
