I've googled this Ministry of Finance building but can't find it. It looks more like the Thai Ministry of Defence building.

According to this site, the ministry was on Chakkrapong Road, Chana Songkram, Bangkok in 1960. There are no traces of the building on the coin on that road now. There are two places where it may have been: the present National Gallery or the Chana Songkram wat (temple).

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

I see. And even the clouds are gone. Nothing lasts forever.  :(

More clouds in the sky! In fact, since Brexit there has never been a single cloud in the sky, which remains pure blue every day, even at night.  :o

Clouds in Britain? Surprising. Every time I went there, the weather was sunny. There should be clouds on Indian coins. When I went there it rained quite seriously. ;D

Probably because the emission from all those delivery trucks is almost completely gone now.  >:D But here we have some Austrian clouds, plus a depiction of Venus stretched out on said clouds. This commem was issued to celebrate Franz Joseph's 60th reign anniversary. Embedded image below.

Are those clouds, or rather mountains

When did you ever see mountains that looked like that?
