Thailand two coins from 1800's - Can anyone date them?

Can anyone provide dates for these two coins from Thailand (Siam)?

Thailand 1 Att - 1887-1905 - Bronze 24mm
The date on this one might be Bangkok Era 115 (1782+115=1897)

image
Thailand 1 Tical - 1876-1902 - Silver 31mm

Thank you.

    Man oh man, I spent half an hour with very poor Krause pictures trying to identify these coins-couldn't do it.

    I didn't even find Tical as a denomination, in either 19th or 20th century Krause.

    Since Krause doesn't list sizes I can't even use that as a reference.

    My suspicion is that they are early 20th century but I say that with no certainty.

    Good luck, very interesting challange that I hope someone else will rise to successfully!image

    I now believe that the silver Tical or Fuang coin might not have a date.

    I looked on Ebay for "Thailand Silver" and found a couple of listings for the silver coin.
    One listing was from a Thai seller, who indicated that the coin was "ND".
    I figured that he would know how to read the date if it was there.

    On the att, the RS date is below the seated figure, looks like 109 (1890).
    The other is likely the undated Baht issued 1876-1900.
