A little help on the thai coins, is the thai numbering system:
Thai new year starts on April 13, so 1996 in western numbering can be BE 2538 (Jan - March) or BE 2539 (April - December)
The first bi-metallic 10 baht coins are minted in 1996 (BE 2538) - พ.ศ. ๒๕๓๘
The prefix พ.ศ. is an indicator to find the date.
