Overview
A silver-colored Thai coin featuring King Rama IX on the front and a temple on the back.
Historical significance
This coin features King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), the ninth monarch of Thailand from the Chakri dynasty, who was the world's longest-reigning head of state at the time of his death in 2016.
Obverse (front)
Portrait of King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) facing left, with Thai script flanking the portrait.
Reverse (back)
Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) in Bangkok, with Thai numeral '1' and date in Buddhist Era (BE).
Estimated value
$0.05-$0.50 circulated, $1-$3 in uncirculated condition
What drives this coin's value
Most coins are common, but the 1986 (BE 2529) date is a key year for collectors due to lower mintage.
Grade assessment
Extremely Fine / About Uncirculated (shows minor surface scratching but high detail remains).
Mintage & rarity
Common; billions minted over several decades.
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Check for magnetic properties (steel versions are magnetic) and crispness of the temple detail.
Notable varieties & errors
Small crown vs Large crown varieties in certain years, and the 2529 (1986) year error types or low mintage issues. The reverse features a short or long spire on the temple in some years (notably 2529).
Similar coins
Thai 5 Baht and 10 Baht coins, which also feature the King but have different reverse designs and sizes/compositions.
Care & preservation
Handle by the edges; avoid cleaning with chemicals to preserve the luster; store in a PVC-free flip or holder.
