My English mentor continued to refer to these as “ticals”. Thai baht, like the pound, is derived from a traditional unit of mass. Its currency value can be seen in silver is equal to weight use; probably as soon as the Sukhothai period informs of bullet coins known in Thai as photo duang. There were pieces of the solid silver cast to different weights equivalent to the traditional system of units by fractions, and multiples, one of which is the baht world’s largest smallest banknotes
