    Pocket change from yesterday. On the reverse is Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. I have been there a few times, it is big and magnificent. In the old 'Ripley's Believe It or Not', it was called the 'Temple of Broken Dishes', which was rather insulting to the Thais. The outside is covered with fragments of broken dishes, which makes it sparkle in the sunlight. Date is 2560, or 2017 AD. 2017 TH 10 b obv.JPG 2017 TH 10 b rev.JPG

    Thai coins all seem to have a temple or religious image on the reverse. These, are from largest to smallest, 10, 5, 2 and 1 baht, 50 and 25 satang. I can not tell you the names of all the wats, or Buddhist temples. Thai coins reverse.JPG

    You'd think with all the Dutch coins I have there would be at least one wappenstuiver with the bundle of arrows, but no...... 1853 P US 1-2 d obv.JPG 1853 P US 1-2 d rev.JPG
