BANGKOK: -- A man from Bangkok became the second lucky Thai to find an extremely rare one-baht coin that collectors are chasing after.

 

Panun Jewelry, a rare coin shop in Rayong, recently drove the internet wild by announcing on Facebook that they are willing to pay THB140,000 in cash to anyone who possess the rare B.E. 2505 one-baht coin. The shop yesterday posted the good news that they just traveled to Bangkok to buy the second rare coin from a man.

 

The lucky dude, whose name was not mentioned, said that he found the coin in some old shelves that he was about to throw away.
