Additional information

These anonymous bullet-shaped billon pieces, produced by pouring molten alloy into molds rather than striking between dies, circulated across the Khmer kingdom for over two centuries with virtually no change in type. The "Heart-Flower" designation refers to a catalog classification, not a mint distinction — the Cambodian royal treasury issued them in bulk without systematic dating, making precise attribution within the 1604–1830 window essentially impossible without hoard provenance.

French colonial administrators who encountered them in the nineteenth century initially struggled to assign them any fixed value, as local exchange rates had long been negotiated by weight rather than denomination.
