New 2-Baht coin in Thailand

The Royal Thai Mint recently released a new series two-baht coin. The new 2-Baht coin is of the same color as the 25 or 50 Satang coin. It is composed of Aluminium Bronze weighs just 4 grams.



The old silver-colored 2 Baht coin easily gets mixed up with the 1 Baht coin, since they're both of the same color and size and look very similar, but double/half the value depending on the one you're holding.

I've also noticed many old 2 Baht coins pen-marked with the number 2 to avoid confusion.

Why did they have to make identical coins in the first place!?

The HTML color code for the new coin ranges between #736B3E and #BAB282 depending on the amount of light falling on it. The RGB code goes like RGB(160,152,103). Why am I into HTML codes here? I'm no graphic designer.
