| Beschrijving voorzijde | Incuse conch shell (Sankha) device struck in the center of the flat face of this irregular hammered silver bullet-shaped planchet. The conch shell motif, a sacred Buddhist and royal symbol of Ayutthaya, is rendered in low relief within a recessed field, with its characteristic spiral whorls visible. The surrounding field is plain and irregular, consistent with the hand-hammered pod duang coinage tradition of the Kingdom of Ayutthaya. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phetracha seized the Siamese throne in 1688 by exploiting the chaos surrounding the expulsion of French forces and the death of King Narai, executing Narai's French-educated heir in the process. His reign was defined by isolationism and a sharp reversal of the cosmopolitan policies that had brought European influence deep into Ayutthaya. Pod duang coinage of this period circulated in a kingdom that had deliberately closed itself to foreign traders, meaning these pieces moved almost entirely within domestic markets.
