EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of bullet coins from the Ayutthaya period, crafted with metal and bearing significant historical value. The Ayutthaya kingdom, which thrived between 1351 and 1767, left behind a legacy that continues to fascinate us today. Before 1860, Thailand produced these distinctive bullet coins as their currency. These unique pieces were created by bending bars of metal into complete circles with thicker centers and stamping them with identifying marks. The image beautifully captures the essence of Thai culture and history. Each coin is meticulously engraved, reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. The spherical shape symbolizes prosperity and abundance in Asian tradition. Displayed on an open book ledger, this photograph invites us to delve into the rich narrative surrounding these ancient coins. They serve as a tangible link to Thailand's past economic systems while also representing its cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition captured by eLuca Tettoni, we are transported back in time to witness the significance of traditional money in Thai society during the Ayutthaya period. This image not only preserves a piece of history but also sparks curiosity about how currencies have evolved over time.
