| Additional information |
Norodom I did not actually take the throne until 1860, making the 1847 date on this coin anomalous — it falls during the reign of Ang Duong, under whose authority the Cambodian tical series was actually struck. The KM#33 attribution places this piece within the Ang Duong coinage, and the Norodom association in dealer cataloging has long been a source of confusion in this series. Cambodia at this moment was caught between Siamese suzerainty and encroaching French interest, and the tical coinage itself represented one of the last assertions of independent Khmer monetary production before the French Protectorate formalized in 1863.
