| Beschrijving keerzijde | Impressed on the rounded upper surface of the bullet-shaped silver planchet, the Chakra symbol — the sacred discus of Vishnu and emblem of the Chakri dynasty — appears in relief within a recessed punch mark. The Chakra is rendered as a circular wheel with radiating spokes or petals, and may appear in either clockwise or counter-clockwise orientation depending on the die used. The surrounding field is convex and irregular, typical of the hand-formed pot duang coinage produced during the reign of Rama I. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bullet coinage of this type — tical in the Thai monetary tradition — was produced by hand, with each piece formed by hammering a roughly spherical silver blank and then applying countermarks. No two are identical in shape. Rama I, who founded the Chakri dynasty in 1782 after the fall of Ayutthaya and the chaos of the Thonburi interregnum, inherited a monetary system that had operated on these same hammered forms for centuries and saw no reason to abandon it.
The dynasty's countermarks on this series authenticated royal silver at a moment when Siam was aggressively rebuilding trade networks with China and regional neighbors. That commercial urgency made consistent silver weight — not consistent form — the priority.
