| Additional information |
The Fueang was a fractional unit in the traditional Thai monetary system, with eight Fueang equaling one Baht. These bullet coins — known as "pot duang" — were handmade by bending a rod of metal into a rounded lump and stamping it with royal marks, a production method unchanged in Siam for several centuries before Western-style milled coinage finally displaced them in the 1860s under Rama IV.
Rama I founded the Chakri dynasty in 1782, and coinage issued under his reign carries marks establishing legitimate royal succession after the fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.
