Thailand

This interesting and seldom encountered issue should be considered the first Crown size coin of Thailand. Several Royal proclamations were issued specifically pertaining to the use and exchange of foreign silver "Flat coins" that were imported for trade. Initially, the exchange rate fluctuated as the supply of imported specie could not keep up with the demand of re-minting them into Pot Duang (Bullet coinage). The 7 January 1857 decree finally stipulates that a fixed rate of exchange was one Tamlung one Baht (five Baht) to three foreign silver coins and that they could be exchanged at the Royal Treasury. Since different types of foreign coins were being imported many merchants were hesitant to accept them in trade at the prescribed rate. Later several more decrees were issued to try to address the hesitation of the merchants refusing to accept them in transactions even going so far as penalizing those who declined them. Eventually, the most common coin in circulation at the time, the Mexican "Dollar", often referred to as "Bird" coins became the standard being marked on the obverse with the Chakra wheel and Mongkut emblems.

KM-C-141.6 Trade Dollar, ND (1858-60) (Stack’s Bowers NYINC auction, 13 January 2023, lot 21454)

Mongkut and Chakra countermarks applied to 8r 1856 Go PF (KM-377.8). The countermarks, in typical fashion for this issue, are uneven on the obverse with the characteristic "melting spot" on the corresponding reverse.

KM-C-141.8 (Stack’s Bowers NYINC, 13 January 2024, lot 53308)

Mongkut and Chakra countermarks applied to a 8r 1845 Mo MF (KM-377.10).

Tobago

This very rare and seldom encountered holey dollar is not to be confused with the much more common Dominica Dollar issued in September 1798. Though similar in the way they were mutilated, plug removal by piercing the center of the coin consisting of 14 or 15 crenation's, they are distinctly different. The key identifying factor between these two West Indian issues is that the Tobago pieces were pierced from the obverse while those of Dominica were done so from the reverse.

It is now speculated that there are two distinct types from Tobago; Type I, crude elongated and slanted crenations and Type II, with neat nearly vertical crenations.

KM-12 11 Bits (8 Shilling 3 Pence - Dollar), ND (ca. 1798) (Stack’s Bowers NYINC auction, 13 January 2023, lot 21468)

Countermark applied to a 8r 1797 Mo FM of Charles IV (KM-109).

Trinidad

Authorization for counterstamping was given on 11 June 1811 and the quantity of dollars to be cut was not to exceed 25,000. The central cutout segments were given a declared value of 1 Bitt (1 Shilling) and were stamped with the initial "T" for the name of the colony.

These central cutout Bitts were ordered to be withdrawn from circulation on 1 December 1823.

By order of proclamation issued by Sir Ralph Woodford on 14 September 1814 the cut dollars were to continue to circulate by tale at 9 Shillings until ordered to pass by weight.

The cut dollars and the previous cut minors of the proclamation of 9 February 1804 were never officially withdrawn. Some of the cut dollar continued to circulate as late as 1860 at a rate of 3 Shillings 9 Pence (90 Cents).

KM-A13 9 Bitts (9 Shillings), ND (1811 (Stack’s Bowers NYINC auction, 15 January 2022, lot 2431)

Issued by local authority of 11 June 1811. Octagonal shaped cut from the obverse on 8r 1794 Mo FM Mexico of Charles IV (KM-109).

Additional "T" punches have been applied to the obverse and reverse, struck multiple times. There are no known official documents that pertain to these additional markings on dollars. These punches seem to be in imitation of the "T" punch found on the central plugs, but do not match in style of application.

Struck upon a host 8r 1790 Mo FM (KM-108).
