Zusätzliche Informationen	Issued under the reign of Satha I, this fractional tical belongs to a period when the Khmer court was actively courting both Spanish and Portuguese traders operating out of Manila and Malacca. Satha I eventually invited Spanish forces from the Philippines into Cambodia in 1596, attempting to use them against Vietnamese and Siamese pressure — a gamble that ultimately failed to preserve his dynasty. Khmer gold ticals of this period are among the least-documented coinage series in Southeast Asian numismatics, with die relationships and mint attribution still poorly understood.
