2 Salueng - Rama IV

正面描述	Globular gold bullet-form flan bearing two impressed royal marks applied by hammer. The upper mark consists of a stylized floral rosette or lotus blossom with a circular centre, characteristic of the Mongkut (crown) symbol associated with Rama IV. The lower mark displays the Unalom or sacred conch symbol within a triangular or oval cartouche, denoting royal authority. Both marks are deeply and crisply struck into the rounded surface of the nugget-shaped flan.

附加信息	Rama IV — known in the West primarily through the fictionalized account of Anna Leonowens — came to the throne in 1851 after spending 27 years as a Buddhist monk, during which time he studied Western science and languages with enough seriousness to correspond directly with Abraham Lincoln in 1861. His monetary reforms attempted to modernize a system still reliant on bullet coinage that had changed little since the medieval period. Gold denominations like this salueng were struck in limited quantities, largely for court use and tributary exchange rather than everyday commerce.
