Historic Significance of the 1 Fuang Silver Coin (1860): This 1 Fuang silver coin is a rare and historically significant piece from the reign of King Rama IV. Minted in 1860, this coin represents Siam’s transition from traditional Pod Duang (bullet money) to round flat coins, a necessary modernization after the signing of the Bowring Treaty in 1855, which opened Siam to international trade. The intricate design of the Mongkut (crown) and Chakra reflects the era's craftsmanship and royal authority. This coin not only served as currency but also symbolizes the transformation of Thailand's monetary system during King Rama IV’s reign, laying the groundwork for future reforms. This is a great collector's piece, offering a direct connection to one of the most transformative periods in Thailand's monetary history.
