Well with no success on the 1993 Baht (had to put them aside till future clarification ) I proceeded to work through. Got the 2003 varieties then onto the 2006. Apparently the face and rim are different sizes but of course no measurements provided. There is an image provided but oh dear, one image is distorted to the left and the other distorted to the right so I'm suspecting that what looks like a difference is just caused by taking the photo at different angles. Of course the rim comparison isn't included in the photos. Googling has provided no answers. I have scanned 100 coins and all appear the same. In some cases the planchet is off centre giving a thicker rim on one side. This is driving me nuts.
Once again I am at the mercy of anyone who can provide a proper description (and/or images) of the 2 varieties.

Many thanks.

and that is why I don't collect varieties.
Just not enough info for some of them.
Mind you if someone can provide the info
you requested I might go back and check
my spares.

I'm starting to get the same vibe... that is why I don't collect errors. That would definitely do my head in.

Actually there is a comprehensive catalog for Australian variety coins, (as you most probably both know),
But I haven't found variety information relating to Thai coins, either.
But I didn't spend half an hour searching.

You may have to resort to Google Images:
'Thailand 1 Baht coin varieties',
and spend quite some time clicking on the several images that this sort of search can produce. Even then, your quest for Thai coin varieties may still end up being a wild goose chase, but that is the sort risk that you may consider worth taking.

@Sel - I do have a copy of 2019 Renniks if that is what you are referring to. I must admit, I haven't entered my Aus collection into Numista yet. Australia and NZ are, I think, the last 2 countries I have left to enter in order to have my current collection catalogued.

Numista has pictures of the 2006 and 2003 here:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces1106.html


, on the 2003 the last character extends lower and but less to the right, the 2006 "Thick rim, Bigger face" looks wonky.

The page also states: "Made-to-order coins exist:". Which is very strange.

@Gincoin - Yeah, I identified the 2003 varieties OK. Given that both 2006 images are distorted in different directions it's quite possible that the wonky look is an artifact of image distortion in a different direction from the first image. I appreciate posters that take the time to do proper images and show annotated measurements of the differences. Unfortunately this is not one of those.
