In 1895, the Royal Siamese Mint was still a relatively new institution, having been established under Rama V's modernization program only a decade prior. This nickel pattern represents one of several experimental strikes testing European-style coinage before final alloy decisions were made for circulating issues. The att denomination itself was already marginal in daily commerce by this point, which may partly explain why the nickel composition was never adopted — the metal cost relative to face value made small-denomination nickel impractical.
KM#Pn41 is one of a cluster of 1895 patterns across multiple compositions, making direct comparison between surviving examples a useful exercise in understanding Rama V's mint priorities.
