Unknown Coin ID

Any foreign coin experts have any idea where this is from?
It's more of a curiosity than anything else, but I would like some info on it.

Hello,

It's a Baht from the country of Thailand. Beautiful coin

Too bad you missed yesterday's thread.

 

Only Thai coin I have so far but if you have seen one you will probably recognize them after.

It has King Rama IX on it.

 

Thanks for the info. Never would have figured that out on my own.
I'm not much of a foreign coin collector and don't think I've ever seen any coins from Thailand.

 

that dude is in love with himself, i have some banknotes with him on a throne, pretty funny

 

He is one of if not THE longest reigning monarchs. The PEOPLE love him and I must say after reading a bio of him, I am impressed with him. Then again he had every advantage being king and all.

 

Ben what would be the date of that coin ?

 

Hmmm, I'd say 1957. There is only one medal on the uniform.

I'm really, really, really bad at Thai dates. Fiftypee easily dated the one in the other thread, so perhaps he'll spot this one and come to our aid.

 

BEN,
I think I found it I was looking at the 2007 standard catalog of world coins. An on page1781 it says Y#81
50 satang =1/2 baht date 1957 aluminum bronze mintage 439,874,000

 

I was looking in the 06

 

That's a Thailand 5 satang coin... dated BE2493 (AD1950)

 

Some more coins from Thailand

Edit: sorry, didn't see the Google link

 

Here's an article about King Bhumibol Adulyadej; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhumibol_Adulyadej .

By the way,we haven't seen you posting around here for a while,Antidote.How's things been over there in Osnabruck?

Aidan.

 

Hey folks:

Sterling is correct. It is a 5 satang coin from 1950.

Talk to you all later.

 

Hi Aidan, things are going well. Still trying to complete my Poland-Estonia-Latvia-Lithuania-Livonia-Collection.
Just got some nice old coins from Poland and Lithunia.
