<p>[QUOTE="coin_nut, post: 2927832, member: 80148"]I was at the local pub with my wife last night and apparently the conversation turned to coins.

On one side was a bust of King Rama V and the other side had several lines in Thai script saying something about his trip to Europe in 1897. I was very impressed with this coin and told her it was valuable, possibly worth 50,000-60,000 baht. I looked it up online this morning and saw that a similar coin sold for almost $2,000 recently. Of course, I offered to buy it from her if she ever wanted to part with it. I also encouraged her to store and handle it more carefully.</p><p><br /></p><p>The pictures below are of the coin which was sold at auction recently.
