| Reverse description | Central field bears a three-line Thai inscription denoting the denomination and date, reading 'สิ้ก' (Sik), '๒ อันเฟื้อง' (2 pieces equal 1 Fuang), and the Chula Sakarat date '๑๒๓๘' (CS 1238, corresponding to 1876 AD). The inscription is framed by a wreath of laurel and floral branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow, rendered in fine relief. The overall composition is symmetrical and elegant, consistent with the Western-influenced engraving style adopted for Siamese coinage of this period. A beaded border runs continuously around the coin's periphery. |
