| Obverse description | The obverse of this Siamese bullet coin (pot duang) presents the Chakra (discus) royal symbol of the Chakri dynasty, stamped into the convex surface of the globular silver planchet. The deeply impressed mark appears centrally on the rounded face of the bullet-form flan, surrounded by the naturally irregular textured surface characteristic of hammered bullet coinage. The Chakra device is rendered with radiating petals or spokes encircling a central boss, executed with the controlled force typical of royal Thai mint practice under Rama IV. |
