Rama IX as ruler

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Rama III (also known as Rama IX) on one side, while the other side features the Thai coat of arms, which includes a depiction of the Garuda, a mythical creature that is half-bird, half-human. This coin was minted in 1987 to commemorate the 2530th anniversary of the founding of the Kingdom of Thailand.
