| Aanvullende informatie |
The bullet or "pot duang" coinage of mid-nineteenth century Siam represents one of the longest-unbroken minting traditions in the world, with this form of hand-bent rod coinage produced continuously for roughly six centuries before Western-style flat coins finally replaced it. Rama IV — better known in the West as King Mongkut, the monarch later fictionalized in *The King and I* — actively pushed Siam toward modernization, eventually commissioning a flat coinage mint in 1860, which brought this type to an abrupt end.
Each piece was individually formed by hand, bent, and countermarked, meaning no two are dimensionally identical.
