Rama IX gold 1000 Baht ND (1951) MS63 PCGS, KM3, Fr-B1. A surprisingly scarce modern bullion emission, issued for the purpose of redeeming loans in gold. The first of this type handled by the cataloger and certainly among the more exciting 20th century Thai issues. Displaying a visually compelling Garuda flanked by sprigs to the obverse, all while framed in swirling-arm luster atop honeyed golden expanses. Seen every few years at auction, the last of which for this firm being in 2005, and is expected to draw interest commensurate with the expanding market for these peculiar pieces.
