svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/10/2010 10:25 pm Definitely Thailand. Now, here's a puzzler. From what I can read, it supposed to be 1 satang dated BE 2485, or 1942. But the coin supposed to have a center hole punched out. See what others say. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 06/11/2010 02:08 am Y#57 without hole. You're right on the date. Original mintage 20.7 million. Krause also states "Approximately 790,000 coins were struck for circulation 1967-73." Worth 30 cents in VF (2010 edition). Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/11/2010 10:42 am How common is it without a hole? And how did it happen? Report this Post to the Staff
swamperbob Pillar of the Community United States 5362 Posts	Posted 06/11/2010 5:04 pm All of the coins struck in Tin #57 lack the hole. It was the Bronze coins dated 1941 that had the hole. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 06/11/2010 8:12 pm I see, I didn't read the note. I was just looking at the picture which, for whatever reason, does have a hole. Report this Post to the Staff
akglen Valued Member United States 170 Posts	Posted 06/12/2010 12:00 am Hey...just looking for clarification; here's what is described. Y# 57 SATANG 1.5000 g., Tin Ruler: Rama VIII Obv: Center hole within design Rev: Center hole within design Edge: Plain Note: BE date and denomination in Thai numerals, without hole. My thoughts was that the date could be with either Western numerals or Thai numerals. And that the difference was it was holed if in Western numerals and not holed if with Thai numerals. And I did notice that this was the opposite of what is noted for Y#60. So the question is whether or not they came in both Western and Thai numerals or not. Report this Post to the Staff
thai-vic Pillar of the Community Thailand 1509 Posts	Posted 06/12/2010 02:15 am Y# 57 SATANG 1.5000 g., Tin Ruler: Rama VIII Obv: Center hole within design Rev: Center hole within design Edge: Plain Note: BE date and denomination in Thai numerals, without hole. The wording in the catalog is incorrect. It should read something like clear centre circle. #57 and the next entry #60 are both without holes. As for western AD dates these have only featured recently on Thai coins and only on a few commemorative issues. Edited by thai-vic 06/12/2010 02:19 am Report this Post to the Staff
