Can Olive Oil Be Substituted For Shortening

Thai Thailand Coins

coins in Thailand can be dated according to three Different eras. However, despite the fact that the symbols of the numbers are different from Westerners, the notation is positional, like ours and the system used is also the Decimal.

This conversion table can translate the numbers ...


Now let's see some coins (the images are of World Coins, my thanks to Krause that put my dispocicion)


In this coin you can see the characters 2, 5, 0 and 9 representing the year 2509, there are two characters (before four) representing the ERA (in this case the ERA BE).


And since we are in the ERA BE, here are two currencies over the same ERA, right here, below, without changing the channel.


Now a coin was Rs.


And these last are of the ERA CS


As you can see, the symbols that represent the ERA, may or may shine by their absence.

Well ... What are the ERAS?, How spread? and because they called so?


The ages range in the following ranges of dates.

* CS = 638AC to
* RS = 1782DC 1782DC to 1913DC 1913DC
* BE =

the date
The Age "Little" CS
is the Chula-Sarakat calendar (hence CS), and starts at year 638.AC, that and to calculate these dates in our calendar we add 638 years.
If the coin, the number you see is (eg) 1238, then in the Gregorian calendar (our) the date would be: 1238 +638 = 1876. So
would indicate the currency of our calendar year 1876.

The Age of "Bangkok" RS
This calendar, also called Ratanakosind-sok (hence RS) is used in coins before 1913, and began in the 1782 DC.
To convert a date in this calendar to ours should be added to the number 1781.
For example, in the Currency says 127, so we add 1781: 127 +1781 = 1908.
The coin shows the year 1908 of our calendar

The Age "Buddhist" BE
Since 1913 the currencies of Thailand use the Buddhist calendar (BE = Buddhist Era) The new year of this age is on April 30 be in our calendar. And the year zero is 543, which is when Buddha was born.
To calculate the year on our calendar to subtract 543.
For example: if the coin we have identified the number 2516, then 2516-543 = 1973
So the coin is the year 1973 in our calendar.


Here you can see that the annotation of the denominations of the coins is identical to ours, only different symbols.
