The Thailand twenty-satang coin (20 st. or 20 สต.) is a unit of currency equivalent to 1⁄5 of a baht. First issued in 1897 during the early modernization of Thai coinage, the 20 satang coin has appeared in several compositions and designs over time and is now never used in everyday circulation. The issues after 1897 are holed and was briefly made of silver in 1942. The coin was demonetized in 1908, and is no longer legal-tender.[1][2][3][4]
