Interesting fact
The 5 Satang coin from Thailand, minted in 1942 during the reign of King Rama VIII, was made of tin, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal. Despite its small denomination, the coin was designed with a unique feature - it has a scalloped shape, which sets it apart from other coins of its time. This distinctive shape was intended to make the coin easier to distinguish from other denominations and to prevent counterfeiting.
