Beschrijving voorzijde Bullet-form silver pod duang with a deeply impressed trident (Trishula) mark stamped into the flattened inner face of the folded silver rod, enclosed within an ogival cartouche. The Trishula symbol, associated with the reign of King Taksin, is rendered in low relief with three upward-pointing prongs. The overall surface displays the characteristic irregular, rounded convex form produced by the hammered bullet coinage technique.

Aanvullende informatie

Taksin was king for only a single year when this coin was struck — he was deposed, ritually beaten to death in a velvet sack (to avoid spilling royal blood), and replaced by Chao Phraya Chakri, who founded the dynasty that still reigns today. Pot duang coinage of this type circulated in Siam for centuries, each bullet-shaped planchet hand-hammered and bent by individual craftsmen rather than struck by mechanical press.

The KM# C10 attribution places this at the very end of Taksin's reign, making surviving examples effectively transitional — last issues of a condemned king's monetary output before the Chakri reformation of the court.
