    Description

    Besides stereo view cards we have been collecting coins for 60 years. Perhaps it is time to sell some of them. This coin is from Thailand, ½ Baht Silver Bullet Money of Rama III, 1824-51. Bullet money or bullet coins, known in Thai as photduang, were a type of coinage historically used in Siam (Thailand) and its predecessor kingdoms. They were almost exclusively made of silver, in the form of a bar bent into a roundish shape and stamped with certain marks. Photduang were issued according to the baht system of weights, known by Westerners as the tical, which is the basis of the modern Thai currency. Their earliest common use is from the Sukhothai Kingdom (13th–15th centuries), and they were used by Ayutthaya and its successor kingdoms Thonburi and Rattanakosin, up until 1904, when their use was discontinued in favor of flat coinage. Paid price in 1989 was .50, equivalent to .00 in 2021. Condition is Fine. Diameter 12 mm. Weight 7.53g. Please look at our other coins.
