1 Baht - Taksin

Taksin was king for only a single year when this coin was struck — he was deposed, ritually beaten to death in a velvet sack (to avoid spilling royal blood), and replaced by Chao Phraya Chakri, who founded the dynasty that still reigns today. Pot duang coinage of this type circulated in Siam for centuries, each bullet-shaped planchet hand-hammered and bent by individual craftsmen rather than struck by mechanical press.

The KM# C10 attribution places this at the very end of Taksin's reign, making surviving examples effectively transitional — last issues of a condemned king's monetary output before the Chakri reformation of the court.
