During the reign of Rama, or King Vajiravudh, Thailand implemented many social and economic reforms aimed at modernizing the country. These reforms also affected the monetary system, as part of which the silver Baht was issued. During this period, Thailand's currency was the Baht, which was traditionally minted in precious metals such as silver. The 1 Baht coin was made of .900-purity silver, meaning it contained 90% silver, while the remainder was copper. This high silver content emphasizes the coin's value and importance in an era when bullion-based monetary systems provided reliability and stability. VI on the obverse side of the coin.
