背面描述	A full-bodied frontal elephant, wearing a traditional Thai crown and regalia, dominates the central field, flanked on either side by the heads and trunks of two additional elephants, forming the emblematic three-headed elephant motif (Erawan) of Siam. Thai legends are arranged around the periphery, reading the kingdom name, Buddhist Era date, and denomination. The design is enclosed by a beaded border.

附加信息	Rama VI came to the throne in 1910 with a strongly Western-oriented education — he had studied at Sandhurst and Oxford — and his reign saw Thailand's coinage modernized along European lines, moving away from the bullet-coin traditions that had persisted into the late 19th century. The 1915 date places this piece in the early years of his reign, just before Thailand entered World War I on the Allied side in 1917, a calculated diplomatic move designed to secure a seat at the postwar peace table and renegotiate the unequal treaties that had constrained Thai sovereignty since the 1850s.
