| Beschrijving keerzijde | A enthroned figure of the mythical guardian deity (Thevada) seated in three-quarter view upon a decorated throne or pedestal, wearing traditional Thai royal regalia including a tall pointed crown, and raising a sceptre or lotus staff aloft with the right hand while the left hand rests at the side. The throne base bears a shield-like escutcheon featuring elephants and crossed weapons. Thai legends reading 'หนึ่ง' (One) appear to the left and 'โสฬส' (Solot) to the right of the central device, with the Rattanakosin Era date in Thai numerals rendered along the lower exergual line. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These bronzes were struck as Siam modernized its currency system under Chulalongkorn, who had witnessed firsthand during his 1897 European tour how industrialized minting operations functioned. The Royal Thai Mint had been established with British technical assistance, and early production runs showed inconsistent planchet quality — a known issue with the type that collectors still encounter across the date range.
The denomination itself reflects the transitional arithmetic of the period: the old cowrie-based system mapped awkwardly onto decimal ambitions, producing fractional designations that straddled two monetary logics simultaneously.
