| Obverse description | A stylized mythical bird (Hamsa or royal goose), rendered in traditional Khmer artistic style, occupies the central field, depicted in profile facing left with elaborate plumage and flame-like tail feathers. The creature's body is finely detailed with scaled feathers and decorative scrollwork. Surrounding the central motif, Khmer script legends are arranged in multiple lines around the upper and lateral fields, with additional inscriptions along the lower border. The entire design is enclosed within a reeded rim. |

| Additional information |
Ang Duong, who ruled as king under joint Siamese and Vietnamese suzerainty from 1840, made deliberate efforts to reassert Khmer administrative independence — issuing coinage was part of that project. The original 1847 tical was among Cambodia's first attempts at a Western-style round coinage, a format encouraged by his exposure to regional trading currencies. This piece is a later replica pattern, not a product of the original issue, and its white metal composition places it firmly outside any official 19th-century Cambodian mint output.
