The Thailand one-satang coin is a currency unit equivalent to one-hundredth of a Thai baht. It is rare in circulation but used in banking transactions. The first satang coin was issued from 1908 to 1937, and featured a hole through the middle.〔http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/display.php?image=img5/175-35&desc=Thailand y35 1 Satang (1908-1937)&query=Thailand〕 It was made of bronze and measured 22mm in diameter, weighing 4.6g. It bore the name of King Rama VI.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces6582.html〕 A coin in the same design was minted in 1939 with name of King Rama VIII, and had a mintage of 24.4 million.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces12237.html〕 In 1941 the design of the coin changed, although it was still bronze with a hole. The diameter changed to 20mm and the weight to 3.5g.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11122.html〕 The hole was removed in 1942 〔http://worldcoingallery.com/countries/display.php?image=img5/175-57&desc=Thailand y57 1 Satang (1942)&query=Thailand〕 as the coin's composition became tin, reducing its weight to 1.5g and the diameter to 15mm. Only issued in 1942, it had a mintage of 20.7 million.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10998.html〕 The design was changed on the coin, although it retained its specifications, in 1944. This coin had an issue of 500,000.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces11123.html〕 The coin then fell out of circulation. It was reintroduced in 1987 as an aluminium coin weighing 0.5g and measuring 15mm in diameter. This was the first one-satang coin to feature a portrait of a monarch, King Rama IX, which was sculpted by Wuthichai Saengngoen.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10004.html〕 A commemorative was released in 1996 to mark 50 years since of the reign of Rama IX, with a front-facing portrait of the King at his succession.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5859.html〕 In 2008, the current portrait of the King was inserted on the obverse.〔http://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces22035.html〕 == Mintages == * 1987 ~ 93,000 * 1988 ~ 200,000 * 1989 ~ 109,000 * 1990 ~ 191,050 * 1991 ~ 25,000 * 1992 ~ 61,000 * 1993 ~ 126,000 * 1994 ~ 500,000 * 1995 ~ 500,000 * 1996 - 0 * 1997 ~ 10,000 * 1998 ~ 10,000 * 1999 ~ 20,000 * 2000 ~ 10,000 * 2001 ~ 50,000 * 2002 - 0 * 2003 ~ 10,000 * 2004 ~ 10,000 * 2005 ~ 20,000 * 2006 ~ 3,000 * 2007 ~ 10,000〔(Treasury Department )〕 * 2008 ~ 10,000 * 2009 ~ 10,000〔(Treasury Department )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「One-satang coin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
