| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central raised circular boss surrounded by a broad decorative band featuring intricate traditional Thai flame and floral motifs in low relief, forming a continuous ornamental ring. Below the central disc, the Buddhist Era date inscription พ.ส.2487 appears in Thai script within the decorative border. The outer rim is defined by a series of pointed radiating petals in a stylised sunburst pattern, characteristic of Thai coinage of the Rama VIII era. The overall design reflects the ornate Rattanakosin artistic tradition with no royal portrait present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Thailand's tin coinage of 1944 was a direct consequence of wartime metal shortages. With Japanese occupation forces requisitioning copper and bronze throughout Southeast Asia, the Royal Thai Mint turned to tin — one of the few metals Thailand itself produced in abundance — for its small denominations. Rama VIII, in whose name this piece was struck, was only sixteen at the time and studying in Switzerland, effectively absent from a country navigating the most politically treacherous years of its modern history.
Tin's poor durability in circulation means surviving examples frequently show corrosion along the edges before the surfaces.
