This series of coins is distinctive as it lacks the royal insignia and the state seal, which were commonly featured in earlier designs. This series also includes a 20 satang denomination; thus at one point the 25-satang and the 20-satang circulated at the same time.<ref>เหรียญเงิน ทองแดง ตราลายกระหนก | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department.

The value of 1 Satang was considered too high for certain low-priced items, causing economic hardship for the poor. Previously, 1 Baht could be exchanged for 128 Solot, but after the switch to Satang, 1 Baht was only equivalent to 100 Satang. The introduction of this coin aimed to make it easier for ordinary people to purchase items without the burden of inflated prices. The coin was produced only once and was discontinued soon afterwards. It was minted in Japan and first issued on July 12, 1937.<ref>เหรียญทองแดง ครึ่งสตางค์ ตราอุณาโลม - พระแสงจักร | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department. Published 2024.

In 1942, a group of denominations switched material due to the costs of [[World War II]]: the 1-satang coin lost its hole in the middle and was made smaller.<ref>เหรียญดีบุก ตราลายกระหนก พ.ศ. 2485 | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department.
