The metal prices in the world market began to decline and it was not necessary to use silver to certify a coin's value, so there were quite a lot of silver remaining. The government decided to compose 3% of the coin's weight with silver, making this the only circulating One Baht coin in king Bhumibol's reign to have silver content.

There was an idea to replace the One Baht banknotes to decrease the high cost that these notes were printed in the United Kingdom in addition to the shipping, which are often delayed. The idea didn't succeed because the One Baht banknotes are still in circulation.            These pattern coins were discovered a few years later in the late 1950s when some Government Savings Bank officers found two of them in some of the 1957 One Baht coin bags one of the two that were found is the coin in the image above.
