thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 12/11/2009 9:00 pm I have a book on Thai coins already but I just can't identify this specific one. Very similar in size and weight to Thai baht (silver, with the number of stars around the edge confirming it as a baht) ascribed to King Rama IV (1804-1886). However the design on the obverse is slightly different to the ones I have pictures of. It's the orientation of the flowers I can't pin down. I've been offered this one so I only have the scans to go on at the moment but the known ones can be worth a few dollars. Could this be an unknown? Any help from anyone would be gratefully appreciated. Moved to World Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/11/2009 9:23 pm It looks like one baht Y#11 in Krause. It says it was minted in 1860 (no date on the coin) Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 12/11/2009 9:46 pm Wow, thanks svslav for the rapid response. ~~What does KM list for grades and values?~~ Just found on an auction site. A couple went for 4000 baht (approx. 120$) but one of about the same grade as I've been offered at a starting bid 2000 baht went unsold. Thanks again.

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 12/11/2009 10:09 pm The Krause values it at $15 for fine, $25 for VF, $125 for XF. By the way it's 0.900 silver with 0.447 oz. ASW Report this Post to the Staff
