Thai baht identification

Hi everyone. I’m new here. From Victoria australia.

I’ve been chronically ill this year and needed something to keep my mind active, so been getting into researching and collecting coins and was interested to find out some more information about some Thai coins I have and some general questions too,

i know the coins I have posted images of are not very valuable and in circulated condition, though I am keeping these ones more as a momento of a trip to Thailand in 2015 I had.

I haven’t been able to work out the translation of the coins and would like to know if anyone can recommend me a good numismatic book for Indochina coins for 1900’s and possibly older, as I would like to look into purchasing coins to increase my coin collection and as long term investments to hand down to my family in the years to come.

I have been collecting predecimal Australian silver coins and currently have about 100+ coins in varying grades and conditions, which I’ve also urpchased over the Year, I have collected some current Australian currency more out of interest as it circulated and not any errors so far unfortunately.

Well I’ll hope your enjoying life.

​As a general reference, I would suggest the Standard Catalog of World Coins, published by Krause Publications. Each century is a separate volume, but it includes information regarding dating systems, numerals, etc. that will help you identify specific coins.

Check with your local library, to see if the library has them as reference volumes (that you cannot check out). Examine them, to see if they fulfill your needs; if so, buy them from a dealer, from Krause Publications, or from Amazon.

Hello,

The second roll coins are Thailand 1 baht, 1962
The last roll coins are Thailand 5 baht, 1979

While I was in Thailand, I learned a lot about them, tough identifying them sometimes. Memorial coins are worth a lot on the eastern market.

Warm regards,

Stefan

The Krause catalog is pretty good about the subject matter on the Thai issues. I set with a Thai couple for hours. They helped me translate the subject matter which was then sent to Krause.
