Interesting fact

The 25 Satang coin from Thailand, which features King Rama IX, was the first coin in the country to have a standardized design across all denominations. This means that the design of the coin, including the image of the king, remains the same across all denominations, while the only thing that changes is the color and size of the coin. This standardization was implemented to make it easier for people to recognize and use the coins, and it has been well-received by the public.
