1 Baht Rama III
1824-1851
Bullet Coin
Gold and silver "bullet" coins have been a medium of exchange since medieval times. Interesting enough is the fact that a 1 Baht bullet made of gold will weigh the same as a 1 Baht bullet in silver. The reason for this is that Baht originally was a weight not a denomination. It was a coinage weight only until the time of Rama VII, (1925-1935) and now it is a weight and also a denomination (as far as standard weight coins are concerned)

Nangklao
(
Thai
:
พระบาทสมเด็จพระนั่งเกล้าเจ้าอยู่หัว
) or
Rama III
(31 March 1788 – 2 April 1851) was the third monarch of
Siam
under the
House of Chakri
, ruling from 21 July 1824 to 2 April 1851. He succeeded his father,
Rama II
, as the
King of Siam
. His succession was unusual according to the traditions
[1]
because Nangklao was a son of a concubine rather than that of a queen. His accession was perceived by foreign observers as having usurped the prior claim of Prince
Mongkut
, who was a legitimate son of Rama II born to a queen,
Srisuriyendra
. Under the old concept of Thai monarchy, however, a proper king must emulate
Maha Sammata
in that he must be "elected by the people."
[2]
Ironically, Prince Mongkut may have later contributed to this misconception, when he feared that his own accession might be perceived by foreign observers as a usurpation.
[3]
During Nangklao's reign, the military
hegemony
of Siam was established by putting down the
Laotian Rebellion
(1826–1829, in what would come to be called
Isan
), the
Siamese–Vietnamese War (1831–34)
, and the
Siamese-Vietnamese War fought in Cambodia (1841–45)
