<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1732515, member: 26302&quot;]He was Rama VIII, but I do not think he was coronated yet. The story was the prmie minister was trying to make Thailand a Republic and get rid of royalty there. I really do not buy any conspiracy other than that. I do not believe any coins or notes were made in the name of Rama VIII until the 1950&#039;s, struck under the reign of his brother Rama IX. I could be wrong about the notes but am pretty sure about the coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, he was a member of the Chakri family, also known as the Bangkok dynasty of Ramas, (kings). </p><p><br /></p><p>I need to update this thread with some of my recent purchases. I have really added quite a bit to my medieval Thai holdings lately. My modern Thai holdings as well, but those number well into the multiple hundreds by now, so I wouldn&#039;t bore the thread with those.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
