| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse presents the Royal Crown (Mongkut) of Rama V mounted upon a tiered lotus-flower pedestal at centre, flanked symmetrically on either side by two tall Royal Umbrellas (Chatra) set upon ornate bases, all executed in high relief. Radiating sun rays emanate from above the crown into the upper field, serving as a traditional Thai royal symbol of sovereign authority. No legend or inscription appears on this face. The composition is contained within a beaded inner border and a plain outer rim. |

Rama V — Chulalongkorn — ascended the throne in 1868 at age fifteen, and the years immediately following saw the Siamese court navigating intense pressure from European colonial powers while attempting to modernize its institutions, currency among them. These copper patterns from 1869 belong to that experimental phase, when Western minting technology and coinage formats were being tested against a monetary system still rooted in bullet coins and traditional weights. Most pattern survivors from this period exist in only a handful of known examples.
The coin alignment and reeded edge distinguish this from related pattern strikings of the same type, suggesting deliberate variation across the trial series to evaluate different production specifications.
