| Reverse description | The reverse bears a Thai inscription in Khmer-derived Thai script reading 'กรุงเทพ' (Krung Thep, meaning Bangkok), identifying the issuing city. The lettering is arranged centrally within the field in the manner typical of Siamese hammered coinage of the Rama IV period. The script characters are struck in low relief against a plain, unadorned field with no border or additional decorative elements. The overall execution reflects the trial or experimental nature of the strike. |
