A customer at my work place had mistaken it for a nickel. I gladly accepted it and offered her it back, or to buy it from her from the suspected amount. She accepted, and it became into my possession.

Anyhow, pics:

Left as links, because the images themselves are rather large. 2592x1936px

Yep! The guy with the glasses is Rama IX, or Bhumibhol Adulyadej, who's been on the throne since 1946, when his elder brother Ananda Mahidol allegedly commited suicide. (Rama VIII was found with a .38 pistol in his hand, & a .45 bullet in his head.) He's pretty much the easiest monarch portrait to identify. The squiggly writing is diagnostic too, but looks (to those unfamiliar with it) a lot like other scripts used in South & Southeast Asia.

The date on this one (to the right of the temple spire) is BE 2550 (that is 2007 to the rest of us).

moving this thread, since the coin has apparently been identified and dated
