Thailand's only nineteenth-century government paper money issue, this note emerged from a genuine fiscal emergency: the royal treasury lacked sufficient copper coinage to handle small everyday transactions, and striking new coin was too slow a solution. The result was a state-issued paper substitute for the copper att, an experiment deeply at odds with Siamese commercial culture, where paper promises from a government rather than a bank were met with immediate public skepticism.
Circulation was short-lived. The issue was withdrawn and the notes largely destroyed, which is why surviving examples are exceptionally rare. The embossed seal was the sole anti-counterfeiting measure on a note that circulated in markets where most traders had never handled paper currency before.
