Editing Thai baht (section)

==== Issue 4 – 1875 ====
The first series to depict king Rama V, the coins of this issue were made of copper, silver, and gold. Though gold was strangely only used for the 1 ''fueang'' denomination.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1 Fuang - Rama V, Thailand |url=https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces33330.html |access-date=2024-03-05 |website=en.numista.com |language=en}}</ref> The new shield emblem was introduced in this issue. This shield was separated into three section. Drawing from western influences, symbols within these sections represented territories Siam was controlling. The [[Airavata|tree-headed elephant]] represented [[Rattanakosin Kingdom (1782–1932)|Siamese territory]], the bottom-left [[White elephant (animal)|elephant]] represented [[Lan Xang]], and the [[Kris|warangka]] represented Siamese Malaya.

Due to a malfunction in the minting machinery at the government mint, which prevented the production of circulating coinage, King Chulalongkorn ordered the design of this coin series and commissioned its production by a mint in Birmingham, England. This marked the first time that coins were minted abroad for circulation in Siam.<ref>เหรียญทองแดงตรา จ.ป.ร. - ช่อชัยพฤกษ์ | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department. Published 2024.

‌</ref> The copper coins in this issue were made in the same size as the coins of the United Kingdom, with the Solot being the same size as the [[Farthing (British coin)|Farthing]], the Att being the same size as the [[Halfpenny (British pre-decimal coin)|Half-Penny]], and the Siao being the same size as the [[Penny (British pre-decimal coin)|Penny]]. The silver coins differ in size to the British counterpart due to the baht being pegged to a different unit of silver. The copper coin in this case were base metal and were not pegged to any standard metal, hence their size tend to differ more throughout history. These copper coins only represent a certain amount of silver.

These silver coins were minted when the Sathit Kuang machinery was put into use in 1889 at the Sathit Kuang Coin Mint, marking the beginning of a new coinage system. The year markings started to appear on the coins from R.S. 120 (1898) onwards.<ref>เหรียญเงิน พระบรมรูป - ตราแผ่นดิน | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department. Published 2024.
