It consisted of six face values, each of one ''solot'', ''att'', ''siao'', ''sik'', ''fueang'' and ''salueng'', currency units prior to the decimalization of the baht. The series was printed by Waterlow and Sons in London, and was first issued on 4 August 1883, coinciding with the launch of Siam's postal service. Stamps in the series depicted King Chulalongkorn in profile, facing the frame's left, and were neither marked with the country name nor values in an international script. This necessitated the series' replacement in 1887 to comply with the standards of the Universal Postal Union, which Siam had joined in 1885. It is the only series to refer to each of the old currency units; subsequent issues had their values denominated in ''att''. The one-''fueang'' stamp never entered circulation as they were not delivered in time for the postal service's opening. ==Gallery== File:1883 SIAM Yv 1.jpg|1 solot, one sixteenth of a ''fueang'' File:Thai stamp 1st att.jpg|1 att, one eighth of a ''fueang'' File:Thai stamp 1st sio.jpg|1 sio, quarter of a ''fueang'' File:Thai stamp 1st sik.jpg|1 sik, half of a ''fueang'' File:Thai stamp 1st fuang.jpg|1 fueang, one eighth of a ''baht'' File:Thai stamp 1st salung.jpg|1 salueng, quarter of a ''baht'' 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「Solot Series」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
