| Additional information |
The Khmer Republic's gold issues of 1974 were produced under the government of Lon Nol at a moment when the regime was militarily collapsing — Phnom Penh would fall to the Khmer Rouge in April 1975. These pieces were almost certainly struck for export and foreign sale rather than any domestic monetary function; by 1974, the Republic controlled little beyond the capital itself. Mintage was extremely limited, and most examples appear to have left Cambodia immediately upon striking.
