ANCIENT, BRITISH AND FOREIGN COINS AND COMMEMORATIVE MEDALS396396 Thailand (18th-19th centuries), bronze Gambling Tokens (Bpee) (4), 27mm, openworkdesign featuring Hanuman, 24mm, 5-armed design both sides, 25mm, 6-spokedwheel, 20.5mm, beaded design, generally very fine or better, rare and interesting (4) £200-250These tokens were introduced to Thailand in the late Ayudhya period (c. late 17th century)by Chinese gambling house owners (Hong), as it was found that the small-denominationspherical “bullet coins” that served as currency at the time were unsuitable. They were issuedin 1-Salung, 1-Fuang, and 2-Pai denominations, but also in lower values such as 200, 100,50 and 25 Cowries, in order to allow those with limited means to gamble.During the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851) they were largely supplanted in thegambling dens by porcelain tokens imported from China. However, by this time the metaltokens had assumed a monetary role in small transactions, especially after 1873, when themetal value of tin and copper currency coins became higher than their face value and thesevanished from circulation. In 1875 the use of Bpee as currency became illegal, and thegambling dens were required to exchange them for cash, as a series of milled coins was issuedfrom the new Sitthikarn mint. They are now surprisingly scarce.There is no definitive catalogue for these tokens, however references to them can be found in:Coinage of the Rattanakosin Era AD 1782-1982, Treasury Dept. Thailand, 1982, p.483.The Evolution of Thai Money, Treasury Dept, Thailand, 2002, p.78.
