Decorative foliate scrollwork and floral motifs fill the field around the central devices. The entire design is contained within a beaded border. The composition reflects the royal insignia of King Rama IV of Siam in a highly stylized traditional Siamese artistic manner. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Rama IV — better known in the West as King Mongkut — introduced this coin as part of a deliberate modernization campaign, replacing the centuries-old bullet coinage that had served Siam since the medieval period. The shift was partly diplomatic: Western trading partners found the old pod duang coins baffling, and Mongkut understood that legible, round, machine-struck money projected the image of a sovereign state capable of dealing as an equal with European powers.
The Royal Siamese Mint was established with equipment sourced from Britain. These early copper pieces of 1865 were among the first machine-struck coins produced on Siamese soil.
