Description

Rama III "Bullet" 8 Baht (2 Tamlung) ND (1824-1851) VF (Stained), KM-C33, LeMay-Unl., cf. Krisadaolarn/Mihailovs-pg. 129, Plates E15 & E16 (this weight unlisted). 28mm. 122.25gm. With Krut Sio stamp. Noted to exist only as a fantasy piece by the Standard Catalog of World Coins, with LeMay commenting that the 2-1/2 Baht of the same ruler with the Krut Sio stamp were reportedly produced in honor of his father, P'ra Buddha Lot La, for distribution among courtiers. The first example we have been able to locate, and likely quite rare as such. The base displays a small inventory sticker from Mr. Opitz's collection. Ex. Detroit Money Museum (no. 2-7-161)
