Comment

Obverse: According to legend, King Ramathibodi I found a beautiful conch shell buried in the ground, and chose the site as the place for his capital. He then placed the shell on a pedestal tray and built a pavilion around it. The seal shows this pavilion with the provincial tree behind it.

Reverse: part of the royal palace complex, Bang-pa palace features a Thai style pavilion built over the water.
