Does that elephant have three heads?

I'm sure the three headed elephant has some religious significance.

The 1862 one is great for a 140+ year old tin.

The 1862 coin was marked as EF and the guy I got it from is very, very conservative in his grading.

wow that's some nice coins!

Thai coins are not too easy to find in nice grades.

Well done!

I have only two early Thais and they are warped and wavy, don't know where they are now or how the got bent.

Good buys congrats.

The design of Thai coins is unmistakable, sometimes I find them a bit too much. And yet that Thai version of Britannia is simplicity at its best.

Nice photos!

<< <i>Nice photos! >>

Holy crap! That is my first ever 'nice photos'. Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head.

The 1915 one is nice with the toning.

You're right Don the three-headed elephant Airavata is the mount for the Hindu god Indra. In Thai, Airavata is known as Erawan. I've been to the Erawan Museum south-east of Bangkok. Beautiful pieces Don I also have a 1915 Baht but it is not toned like the one you got. Very nice pick of thai coins.
