Offered here is a lightly circulated 2015 5 Baht coin from Thailand, featuring King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), the nation’s longest-reigning monarch.
The reverse depicts Wat Benchamabophit (the Marble Temple), one of Bangkok’s most famous landmarks. This makes the coin especially popular with collectors of Asian and modern world coinage.
A clean, attractive example from the late Rama IX era.
