| 表面の説明 | Central field depicts the royal tiered crown (Mongkut) of Rama V, rendered in high relief and resting upon a lotus pedestal, flanked on either side by multi-tiered Royal Umbrellas (Chatr) mounted on ceremonial stands, symbolising royal sovereignty. Radiating sun rays emanate from above the crown toward the upper rim of the field, evoking divine kingship. The entire composition is contained within a beaded inner border, reflecting the ornate decorative aesthetic of Siamese royal coinage of the period. |

| 裏面の説明 | Central medallion depicts a royal white elephant standing in profile to the left, rendered naturalistically in high relief upon a ground line, and enclosed within a circular ornamental band decorated with floral and geometric motifs. Surrounding this central medallion is the Chakra (wheel) device composed of eight sweeping curved spokes interspersed with lotus petal forms and floral sprays, creating an elaborate mandala-like composition. Thirty-two six-pointed stars are distributed around the outer border of the design, interspersed with short radial lines, all contained within a beaded rim. The overall design reflects the distinctive Siamese royal iconography associated with the Chakri dynasty. |

Pattern coinage under Rama V — who was just fifteen years old at his accession in 1868 — reflects Thailand's deliberate push toward Western-style decimal currency as Chulalongkorn's advisors negotiated the kingdom's position against encroaching British and French colonial pressure. This piece predates the actual monetary reforms by over a decade; the decimal system wasn't formally adopted until 1897.
The reeded edge distinguishes this from the plain-edge variant catalogued separately, suggesting at least two parallel trials were conducted for this denomination. At 52.7 grams in copper, it was never a serious candidate for circulation.
