[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 173235, member: 669"]You need to crop out all the background table, etc., so that the coin will appear large enough to show its details.That's a result of wear. As originally minted his features were distinct, including his eyeglasses. The bust is of King Rama IX. Look at the picture in Mikjo0's link, which is clearly a mint state coin. Some varieties of Thai coins are differentiated by the number of medals on the King's chest. Although all 883-million+ of that coin are dated in the year 2505 of the Thai calendar (1962) they were minted through 1982. Sad to say, the one pictured has esentially no numismatic value, as the Standard Catalog of World Coins values the coin at only 10¢ in VF, and I would grade thiis one AG to G-4 at best.
