| Beschrijving keerzijde | Plain, undecorated surface of the rounded hammered silver flan, exhibiting the characteristic domed and slightly flattened profile of the Ayutthaya pod duang bullet coin. The surface shows natural flow lines and irregularities inherent to the hand-hammered production technique, with no devices, inscriptions, or additional punch marks present. The overall form is that of a compact, globular nugget of silver folded and worked into the traditional bullet coin shape. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Phetracha seized the Ayutthayan throne in 1688 through a coup that also expelled the French garrison from Bangkok and effectively ended Narai's pro-Western foreign policy. The political rupture was total — Greek adviser Constantine Phaulkon was executed within weeks, and Siam's brief experiment with European alliance collapsed overnight. Coinage issued under Phetracha therefore marks the opening of a deliberately isolationist reign.
Bullet coinage of this type was produced by folding and hammering silver rod into a roughly spherical planchet, a technique Ayutthaya maintained for centuries without mechanization.
