Modernity of the Monetary System
The Royal Thai Mint was established in the reign of King Mongkut or Rama IV. The King considered that siam had to open itself to trade with Europeans and the country had to be improved and updated in all respects. For this reason, the production of money was modernized and coins were issued in accordance with the Western way. This was the beginning of the establishment of the Royal Thai Mint in 1860.
