Interesting fact
The 5 Satang coin was introduced in 1950, during the reign of King Rama IX, and it was the first coin to feature the king's image. The coin was made of aluminum bronze and weighed 1.25 grams. It was a significant change from the previous coinage system, which had been in place since 1860, and it marked a new era in Thai currency. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
