    You`re welcome. Seems like 1 baht from 80s-90s, which means it is worth right about nothing even in UNC.

    It looks like one of the commemorative Bhats from Thailand (80's, 90's or 00's). Depending on the size and weight it could be 1 or 100 Bahts. Check the site below to find the correct reverse.

    Good Luck.

    i was happy to find a rupee today. those things are just very well designed and looks like two coins stuck together

    These coins always confused me because that obverse looks just like my Uncle Joe, and he was Polish. He was a Merchant Marine during WW2 and Asia was one of his ports of call when his ships were not torpedoed by Axis forces. Could be a cousin of mine?

    Poland is great, I polish my coins quite often.

    Agreed - it's a Thai baht. When going through bins of junk coins, I leave all of those there (as there are virtually no rare dates and many of the coins where minted for several years with the same pattern and no dates indicated).
