| Beschrijving voorzijde | Impressed into the convex surface of the bullet-shaped planchet is a circular cartouche bearing the Prasat (royal palace) mark, depicting a stylised multi-tiered pavilion or throne hall rendered in low relief. The device is struck within a beaded or plain circular border, centrally positioned on the rounded face of the coin. The hand-struck impression is characteristic of traditional Thai pot duang (bullet money) manufacture, with the surrounding field exhibiting the uneven, lumpy surface typical of the hammered silver flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bullet coinage of this type — known in Thai as "pot duang" — was produced by hand, with workers heating silver rod, cutting slugs, and folding them into the characteristic pellet shape before stamping. Each piece is essentially unique in form, which makes grading by conventional standards largely irrelevant. Rama III ruled during a period of intense Western commercial pressure, and these coins circulated alongside foreign trade dollars flooding in through the port of Bangkok.
The 2 Salung denomination equals half a Baht in the traditional Thai weight system, where the Baht itself derived from a unit of mass.
