Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50 Satang coin from Thailand is that it features an image of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, also known as Rama IX, on one side, and the Thai emblem on the other. The coin was minted from 1987 to 2008 and has a unique blend of metals, including aluminum bronze, which gives it a distinctive color and durability.
