This exhibit features the Pod Duang currency invented during the Sukhothai Period
and was in use for more than 600 years until its abandon in the reign of King Rama
five of the Rattanakosin period. The biggest attractions among a complete range of
Pod Duang coins from all periods are, “Pod Duang Chor Ram Poey” (trumpet flower
coin) and “Pod Duang Thong Kam” (gold coin). The details of the Pod Duang coins production are given through a diorama presentation while the production instruments are on display. The multi-media presentation illustrates trading history during the Ayuthaya Period with replicas of Portugese ships sailing back and forth.
