Front Face King Coins - rare?

Featured Replies

Apologies if this subject has already been mentioned.

 

Normally thai coins with late king on them are side facing but I have noticed some coins show him 100% front facing. Any ideas on this as these front face coins seem vety uncommon and perhaps they have hidden value at some stage?

 

See below image for example of front facing.

No, it's Rama VI who reigned from 1910 to 1925 ("Vajiravudh").

Hmm tasty that then. Not a lot of circulation time hence the rarity.

Page 3 of above website under coins category  shows coins from that era starting at 2500 thb to 20k. One looks like yours but I'm using a phone and photos on site are grainy.
