Key Facts & Value
Key Fact
Description
This is a 5 Baht coin from Thailand, likely minted between 1988 and 2010. The obverse features a detailed representation of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, a significant landmark. The reverse displays the Royal Thai emblem. The coin is bi-metallic, with a reeded edge, and measures 30mm in diameter and 2.2mm thick, weighing 12 grams. It was part of general circulation.
History
The 5 Baht coin design featuring the Grand Palace has been in use for several decades, reflecting the enduring cultural and historical importance of this iconic structure. The Royal Thai Mint, responsible for its production, has a long history of minting currency for the Kingdom of Thailand. The coin's design serves as a national symbol, representing the country's rich heritage and royal lineage.
Facts
The Grand Palace is a complex of buildings that served as the official residence of the Kings of Siam (and later Thailand) from 1782 to 1925. It is a major tourist attraction in Bangkok. The bi-metallic composition of the coin is a modern feature aimed at security and durability, distinguishing it from older single-metal coinage.
Value Fact
As a circulated modern coin, this 5 Baht piece typically holds minimal numismatic value beyond its face value. However, uncirculated examples or those from specific years with lower mintages might fetch a slightly higher price. Demand is generally driven by collectors of Thai currency or individuals seeking a memento of their travels.
