Thailand: 10 baht Satang - Rama IX - 2018 & 19

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces138312.html

The comments don't correspond to the year line comments, the 2018 has only ONE year line. Maybe it would be possible to get the corresponding images? Again I only have of the 2018 and the inner circle is 18.54 mm, so that should be large?

I don't want to make a change request, because, I don't even know from the comments, where the different coins were minted....

Thanks in advance

Hi, I have a 2018 example with a small center. Measuring is extremely difficult but by judging the pictures in the comment I believe mine to be from a roll...

I've taken you coin and my coin and if the comments were right then mine is with circle bigger, mine is below



Your coin, I think, is a tiny bit smaller overall?

I think the images have to made with the same camera to be able to show anything, but it was worth the try?

Hello Ole,

the first images were made with my phone and under a slight angle... so they might not be the best!
I have made a high resolution 1200dpi scan at 2320x2320 pixels of the coins and also of a ruler. Maybe these images are better do your magic on?



Regards, Tony.

PS: My coin measures 26,10mm with digital calipers (cheap ones )

Thanks,

tomorrow I'll try again, since I have other plans for today.

Being in Thailand I get to see a lot of 10 baht coins. The variation of the centers really lead me to question if there should even be more than one date line made for each year. Some of the other denominations have noticeable variations in the motifs. Those are easy to spot with the naked eye and are more eligible for additional date lines as far as I'm concerned. Unfortunately, I don't have camera or measuring equipment to show you what I have accumulated. As I have looked at hundreds of 10 baht coins there is a lot of variations on the centers for the last 3 types and for all years minted. I would need more convincing than
​​​​​ what is noted about the size of the centers.

Also, do 2018 10 bahts have to be either mint bag or mint roll, or  can they also just be normal circulation strikes?

That is not actually an easy question to answer. The Thai mint and the BOT for that matter has very little transparency. Communicating with either organization on different days often yields vastly different answers. I personally have not seen evidence that 10 baht 2018 coins were struck by different mints however circumstantial evidence would point to that as having been the case. Perhaps I could send @Sjoelund several samples and he could do his thing with his software and possibly determine if there truly are differences. The 5 baht of 2018 is said to have been made by different mints but that they were impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. The other denominations have visible differences in motifs and are easy to distinguish. Oh yeah, the 2 baht coins don’t seem to have any variations which is strange in itself when you think about the other denominations.

 

Sorry it doesn’t really answer the question but that’s how it goes with Thai coins.

Yes you can send me hires (high resolution) images telling me what to look for.
