<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 13296710, member: 26302&quot;]Agree that we would all like provenance. See post earlier. Be careful though of unusual ones. Way too many archeologists make wild leaps based upon coin finds. I remember an archeologist trying to claim Africans had trade routes with Australia based on a few medieval coins found there. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am actually somewhat an expert in Thailand, owning one of the larger collections of pre-Rama VI, (and thousands of post ones as well),&nbsp; collections in the States. I can tell you that coin would simply have no value in Thailand. They NEVER had copper coinage, so would have had no coinage desirability in the nation. All Thai coinage until the 1860&#039;s was silver, tin, and lead, (matching the metals found in local mines). Even gold coinage was not known except for the Malaysian influenced Far South. My opinion would be it was lost by a more modern French or English trader who had it as a collectible.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
