Before 1860, Thailand did not produce coins using modern methods. Instead, a so-called "bullet" coinage was used, consisting of bars of metal, thicker in the middle, bent round to form a complete circle on which identifying marks were stamped.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.matichon.co.th/mtc-flv-window.php?newsid=1323259839 |script-title=th:อันซีน "พิพิธภัณฑ์มีชีวิต ธนบัตรมีเรื่องราว" แห่งเดียวในประเทศไทย [Unseen living museum - Banknotes have stories from the unique museum in Thailand]|language=th |work=Matichon |access-date=8 December 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222112321/http://www.matichon.co.th/mtc-flv-window.php?newsid=1323259839 |archive-date=2015-12-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=เบี้ย บาท กษาปณ์แบงค์ [Cowrie, Baht, Coins, and Bank] โดย นวรัตน์ เลขะกุล|first=Nawarat |last=Lekhakum|publisher= สำนักพิมพ์สารคดี [Sarakhadee Press]|language=th |date=2009}}</ref> Denominations issued included {{frac|128}}, {{frac|64}}, {{frac|32}}, {{frac|16}}, {{frac|8}}, {{frac|2}}, 1, {{frac|1|1|2}}, 2, {{frac|2|1|2}}, 4, {{frac|4|1|2}}, 8, 10, 20, 40 and 80 baht in silver and {{frac|32}}, {{frac|16}}, {{frac|8}}, {{frac|2}}, 1, {{frac|1|1|2}}, 2 and 4 baht in gold. One gold baht was generally worth 16 silver baht. Between 1858 and 1860, foreign trade coins were also stamped by the government for use in Thailand. ==== Sukhothai and Ayutthaya ''photduang'' ==== ''Photduang'', a form of currency used during the Sukhothai period, was characterized by its longer legs, which created a larger and wider hole in the middle. These coins were primarily made of silver and featured a cut across the front of each leg. This cut served a dual purpose: it authenticated the money and allowed for the quality of the silver to be tested. Over time, as the Sukhothai Kingdom declined and became a vassal state of Ayutthaya—which was established as the capital in 1350—the design of ''photduang'' evolved. The coins became rounder with shorter legs, and the central hole, while still present, grew smaller. By the end of this era, the hole disappeared completely. The cuts on the legs also reduced in size and were eventually replaced by a small elliptical nick, known as "Met Kao San," on one side of the coin.<ref name=":02">{{Cite web |last=Watanalumleard |first=S. |date= |title=The Story of Photduang |url=http://coinmuseum.treasury.go.th/en/news_view.php?nid=118 |access-date=August 7, 2024 |website=coinmuseum}}</ref> ==== Thonburi and Rattanakosin ''photduang'' ==== The Thonburi period (1767–1782) and the Rattanakosin period, beginning in 1782, adopted the ''photduang'' design from the late Ayutthaya period. The coins from these periods had no central hole, and the legs were even shorter. A key difference was that [[File:Administrative Division of Rattanakosin Kingdom in 1805.jpg|thumb|453x453px|Siam at the time of podduang issue 4 (1805)]] Thonburi ''photduang'' lacked the elliptical nick, whereas the Rattanakosin coins reintroduced this feature, similar to the Ayutthaya coins. ''Photduang'' from these later periods typically featured two stamped marks: the dynasty mark on top and the king's personal mark on the front part. The dynasty mark often symbolized the kingdom's ruling dynasty, while the king's personal mark represented the reigning monarch.<ref name=":02" /> ==== Markings on the ''photduang'' ==== The markings on ''photduang'' coins varied across different periods. During the Sukhothai era, some coins bore no marks, while others had up to 11. This variation was because, at that time, individuals and merchants could produce their own money. However, from the Ayutthaya period onward, the production of ''photduang'' was monopolized by the government, making it easier to identify coins from each era. Ayutthaya ''photduang'' typically bore two marks: the dynasty mark, which could be a spoked wheel symbolizing the "Wheel of Law" from Buddhist teachings or the Chakra (Vishnu's weapon), represented by a pattern of 8 dots surrounding a central dot. The king's personal mark varied with each ruler and included symbols such as a conch shell, a Garuda bird (''khrut''), an elephant, and an anchor, each symbolizing different aspects of the king's reign or divine associations.<ref name=":02" /> ==== ''Photduang'' timeline ==== <timeline> ImageSize = width:1500 height:auto barincrement:25 PlotArea = top:10 bottom:30 right:130 left:20 AlignBars = justify DateFormat = yyyy Period = from:1250 till:2024 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal ScaleMajor = unit:year increment:50 start:1250 ScaleMinor = unit:year increment:10 start:1250 Colors = id:canvas value:rgb(1,1,1) id:r value:rgb(0.5,0,0) id:p value:rgb(1,0.1,0.6) id:o value:rgb(1,0.3,0) id:y value:rgb(0.9,0.7,0.1) id:g value:rgb(0,0.4,0) id:m value:rgb(0,0.8,0) id:b value:rgb(0.1,0.6,1) id:n value:rgb(0,0,0.5) id:rp value:rgb(0.4,0.2,0.6) id:v value:rgb(0.6,0,0.8) id:eon value:white Backgroundcolors = canvas:canvas BarData = barset:Rulers bar:eon PlotData= skip bar:eon color:eon width:20 align:left fontsize:10 shift:(5,-3) anchor:till barset:Rulers from:1251 till:1400 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Sukhothai and Ayutthaya photduang|Sukhothai Issue 1]]" from:1351 till:1767 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Sukhothai and Ayutthaya photduang|Ayutthaya Issue 2]]" from:1767 till:1782 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang|Thonburi Issue 3]]" from:1782 till:1809 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang|Rattanakosin Issue 4 (Rama I)]]" from:1809 till:1824 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang|Rattanakosin Issue 5 (Rama II)]]" from:1824 till:1851 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang|Rattanakosin Issue 6 (Rama III)]]" from:1851 till:1870 color:o text:"[[Thai baht#Thonburi and Rattanakosin photduang|Rattanakosin Issue 7 (Rama IV)]]" from:1856 till:1862 color:p text:"[[Thai baht#Coin timeline|vvv Flat coin issues vvv]]" from:1856 till:1862 color:p text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 1 – 1856 (transitional)|Issue 1 (Rama IV, transitional)]]" from:1860 till:1910 color:r text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 2 – 1860|Issue 2 (Rama IV)]]" from:1869 till:1910 color:r text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 3 – 1869|Issue 3 (Rama IV)]]" from:1875 till:1910 color:r text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 4 – 1875|Issue 4 (Rama V)]]" from:1888 till:1910 color:r text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 5 – 1888|Issue 5 (Rama V)]]" from:1897 till:1902 color:p text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 6 – 1897 (transitional)|Issue 6 (Rama V, transitional)]]" from:1908 till:1937 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 7 – 1908, 1913, 1929, 1939|Issue 7 (Rama V, VI, VII, VIII)]]" from:1910 till:1937 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 8 – 1913|Issue 8 (Rama VI)]]" from:1929 till:1937 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 9 – 1929|Issue 9 (Rama VII)]]" from:1937 till:1946 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 10 – 1937, 1941, 1942, 1945|Issue 10 (Rama VIII)]]" from:1946 till:1950 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 11 – 1946|Issue 11 (Rama VIII)]]" from:1950 till:1972 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 12 – 1950|Issue 12 (Rama IX)]]" from:1972 till:1977 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 13 – 1972|Issue 13 (Rama IX)]]" from:1977 till:1982 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 14 – 1977|Issue 14 (Rama IX)]]" from:1982 till:1987 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 15 – 1982|Issue 15 (Rama IX)]]" from:1987 till:2024 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 16 – 1987, 1988, 2005, 2008|Issue 16-1 (Rama IX)]]" from:2009 till:2024 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 16 – 2009|Issue 16-2 (Rama IX)]]" from:2018 till:2024 color:b text:"[[Thai baht#Issue 17 – 2018|Issue 17 (Rama X)]]" barset:skip </timeline><ref>{{Cite web |last=Wattanalumleard |first=S. |date= |title=The Story of Photduang |url=http://coinmuseum.treasury.go.th/en/news_view.php?nid=118 |access-date=August 7, 2024 |website=coinmuseum}}</ref> ''*continues in the coin section*'' ====List==== {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" |+''Photduang'' of the Thai tical (Rama III & Rama IV)<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=The Treasury Department |date=January 3, 2020 |title=ราคาประเมินมูลค่าเงินตราโบราณ |url=https://www.treasury.go.th/th/coin-valuation/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230608122100/https://www.treasury.go.th/th/coin-valuation/ |archive-date=June 8, 2023 |access-date=September 4, 2023 |website=www.treasury.go.th}}</ref> !

He did so not for the convenience of traders, but because he was disturbed that the creatures living in the cowrie shells were killed. When he learned of the use of flat copper coins in Singapore in 1835, he contacted a Scottish trader, who had two types of experimental coins struck in England. The king rejected both designs. The name of the country put on these first coins was ''Muang Thai'', not ''Siam''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://phila09-04.eurseree.com/cgi-bin/info/agora.cgi?cart_id=5286534.107769*KJ66o8&p_id=1196&xm=on&ppinc=search2|title=1835 Rama III unadopted design copper coin "Lotus - MuangThai"|access-date=2015-10-20|archive-date=2015-12-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151222110629/http://phila09-04.eurseree.com/cgi-bin/info/agora.cgi?cart_id=5286534.107769*KJ66o8&p_id=1196&xm=on&ppinc=search2|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.royalthaimint.net/ewtadmin/ewt/mint_web/ewt_news.php?nid=46&filename=index|script-title=th:เงินตรา|website=Royal Thai Mint|language=th|access-date=20 October 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304103729/http://www.royalthaimint.net/ewtadmin/ewt/mint_web/ewt_news.php?nid=46&filename=index|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> In 1860, modern-style coins were introduced.

Tin 1 ''solot'' and 1 ''at'' followed in 1862, with gold {{frac|2|1|2}}, 4, and 8 baht introduced in 1863 and copper 2 and 4 ''at'' in 1865.

Concerned about the symbolic inappropriateness of the elephant, which could imply foreign influence or association, King Rama III ultimately rejected all of the submitted patterns. As a result, none of the proposed coins were officially adopted or denominated. These pattern coins, though never circulated, represent an early attempt at modernization of Siamese currency prior to the eventual adoption of machine-struck coinage in the reign of King Rama IV. {| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center" ! colspan="9" |Issue 0 coins (Rama III) [''The Muang Thai Series'']<ref name=":1">''เหรียญกษาปณ์ไทย'' (1st ed., Vol. 1).

This marked the start of the move away from using ''photduang'' currency. Though in this era, the ''photduang'' were still legal tender. In this series, the lower denominations were made of silver, and the higher ones were made of gold. These higher denominations were given nicknames: ''pot dueng'', ''pit'', and ''tot''. ''Pot dueng'' means thirty two, as in 1/32 of a ''chang''. The other nickname was the ''chinkang'' or one Chinese ''tamlueng''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2½ Baht |url=https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces24271.html |access-date=2024-03-05 |website=en.numista.com |language=en}}</ref> The pit means twenty, as in 1/20 of a chang, the other name is ekkang, or one thai tamlueng.<ref>{{Cite web |title=4 Baht |url=https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces135454.html |access-date=2024-03-05 |website=en.numista.com |language=en}}</ref> The ''tot'' means ten, as in 1/10 of a ''chang''.

According to the Thai Treasury, regarding the gold coins, they were minted during a period when large amounts of gold were entering Thailand. Inspired by the widespread use of gold coins in other countries, such as the gold coins of England, King Mongkut (Rama IV) ordered the production of gold coins for domestic use. These coins, with their higher value, facilitated trade as the silver coins in circulation at the time were of lower value. They were officially issued on October 29, 1863, and were withdrawn from use in 1908.<ref>เหรียญทองคำทศ พิศ พัดดึงส์ | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department. Published 2024.

Due to the limited production capacity of these machines, the coins could not be minted in sufficient quantities to meet the country's demand. Consequently, their use was discontinued. This coincided with the arrival of steam-powered machinery, which allowed for more efficient and larger-scale coin production.<ref>เหรียญเงินตราพระมหามงกุฏ-พระแสงจักร (บรรณาการ) | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department.

The decision to issue lighter, thinner coins was made after an incident where King Mongkut (Rama IV) distributed the thicker coins during a charitable event, and recipients were injured with head wounds and bruises.

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. Accessed December 20, 2024. <nowiki>https://www.treasury.go.th/th/coin-k5-2/</nowiki> </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.

The minister of treasury, [[Jayanta Mongkol|Jayanta Mongkol, the Prince Mahisara Rajaharudaya]], suggested to King Rama V, that decimalization would make counting easier and further modernize Siam. Initially, there would be one superunit, ''chang'', and one subunit, ''at''. with the baht being in the middle. In summary, 64 ''at'' = 1 baht = 1/80 ''chang''. In reality, this was just a simplification of the old system, which was scrapped.<ref>{{Cite web |title=2½ Satang - Rama V, Thailand |url=https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces27448.html |access-date=2024-03-05 |website=en.numista.com |language=en}}</ref> In which, during the period of 1902–1908, Siam went back to the old system. Though in comparison, ''at'' is used as the subunit in Laos, compared to the satang in the Thai baht. The second attempt came at the end of Rama V's reign, where it was more widely accepted and put into effective use. In 1897, the first coins denominated in satang were introduced, [[cupronickel]] {{frac|2|1|2}}, 5, 10, and 20 satang. However, 1 ''solot'', 1, and 2 ''at'' coins were struck until 1905 and 1 ''fueang'' coins were struck until 1910. In 1908, holed 1, 5, and 10 satang coins were introduced, with the 1 satang in bronze and the 5 and 10 satang in nickel. The 1 and 2 ''salueng'' were replaced by 25 and 50 satang coins in 1915. In 1937, holed, bronze {{frac|2}} satang were issued. In 1941, a series of silver coins was introduced in denominations of 5, 10, and 20 satang, due to a shortage of nickel caused by [[World War II]]. The next year, tin coins were introduced for 1, 5, and 10 satang, followed by 20 satang in 1945 and 25 and 50 satang in 1946. In 1950, [[aluminium bronze]] 5, 10, 25, and 50 satang were introduced whilst, in 1957, bronze 5 and 10 satang were issued, along with 1-baht coins struck in an unusual alloy of copper, nickel, silver and zinc. Several Thai coins were issued for many years without changing the date. These include the tin 1942 1 satang and the 1950 5 and 10 satang, struck until 1973, the tin 1946 25 satang struck until 1964, the tin 50 satang struck until 1957, and the aluminium bronze 1957 5, 10, 25, and 50 satang struck until the 1970s. Cupronickel 1-baht coins were introduced in 1962 and struck without date change until 1982. In 1972, cupronickel 5-baht coins were introduced, switching to cupronickel-clad copper in 1977. Between 1986 and 1988, a new coinage was introduced, consisting of aluminium 1, 5 and 10 satang, aluminium bronze 25 and 50 satang, cupronickel 1 baht, cupronickel-clad copper 5 baht and bimetallic 10 baht. Cupronickel-clad steel 2 baht were introduced in 2005. ==== Issue 6 – 1897 (transitional) ==== The old monetary system of Siam was based on a binary system that proved challenging for accounting purposes. This system initially consisted of three main units of currency: '''Chang''', '''Baht''', and '''Att'''. Under this system, there were 64 Att to 1 Baht and 80 [[File:Administrative Division of Siamese Kingdom in 1900.jpg|thumb|Siam at the time of coin issue 6 (1897)]] Baht to 1 Chang. Despite its widespread use, the system’s complexity made it difficult to manage and calculate. Recognizing the inefficiencies, the Minister of Treasury proposed to King Rama V that Siam’s currency system should be decimalized. The proposal aimed to modernize the monetary system and align it with the decimal systems increasingly adopted by other countries at the time. King Rama V approved the transition to a decimal-based currency, which simplified accounting processes. The transition to a decimal currency system faced numerous challenges even before the new coins were issued. Notably, the word "Anachak" (อาณาจักร) was initially misspelled as "อานาจักร," causing controversy. King Rama V intervened, insisting that the most accurate phrasing should be "Siam Ratcha-Anachak" (สยามราชอาณาจักร; Kingdom of Siam). Despite the initial enthusiasm for the decimal system, the new coins struggled to gain popularity among the public. Many people were unfamiliar with the decimal system and preferred the traditional currency. Consequently, the new coins quickly faded from circulation, forcing the government to continue producing coins under the old system. The production of coins from the old system persisted until '''RS 127 / BE 2451 / AD 1907'''. Ultimately, both pre-decimal coins and the early decimal coins were demonetized on '''May 17, RS 128 / BE 2452 / AD 1909'''. Citizens were given a grace period to exchange the demonetized coins for the new decimal currency, with the deadline set for '''May 16, RS 128 / BE 2452 / AD 1910'''. This gradual shift is shown in the fact that coins after the transition often switched between three calendar systems, the CS (Chulasakarat) system, the RS (Rattanakosin Sok) system, the BE (Buddhist Era / Phutthasakarat) system.<ref>2½ Satang - Rama V, Thailand.

The 2 Salung and 1 Salung coins experienced changes in metal composition due to fluctuating silver prices during World War I, and these coins have slight design variations based on these changes. During issue, there were also various debasements of the silver content of these coins. Initially, the composition was 80% silver and 20% copper. In 1918, during World War I, silver prices surged, leading to a change in the composition to 65% silver and 35% copper. In 1919, the silver percentage dropped further to 50% silver and 50% copper. After the war, in 1919, the composition returned to 65% silver and 35% copper.<ref>เหรียญเงิน พระบรมรูป - ตราไอราพต | กรมธนารักษ์. กรมธนารักษ์ : The Treasury Department. Published 2024.

The coins were then melted down and sold. The government solved this by changing the pure silver coin to alloy. Vajiravudh eventually forbade exports of Siamese coins. In 1918, the usage of 1-baht coins was nullified and 1-baht banknotes were introduced. Coins were recalled and kept as a national reserve. Near the end of this issue of coins, the transition into decimal currency was completed. The Rama VII coin was produced in two denominations, 50 Satang and 25 Satang, and marked the transition from the old currency system of "สองสลึง" (two salung) and "หนึ่งสลึง" (one salung) to the new system using Satang as a unit of currency.<ref>เหรียญเงิน พระบรมรูป - ตราช้างทรงเครื่อง | 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.

In 2008, in the 13th issue, the [[Ministry of Finance (Thailand)|Ministry of Finance]] and the Royal Thai Mint announced the 2009 coin series, which included changes in materials to reduce production costs as well as an update of the image on the obverse to a more recent portrait of the king. The two-baht coin, confusingly similar in color and size to the one-baht coin, was changed from nickel-clad low-carbon steel to aluminium bronze. New two-baht coin was the first of the new series released on 3 February 2009, followed by the satang coins in April, a five-baht coin in May, a ten-baht coin in June, and a one-baht coin in July 2009.
