The Institut d'Émission des Etats du Cambodge, du Laos et du Viet-Nam was itself a transitional fiction — created in 1952 as France attempted to maintain monetary control over the Associated States while nominally granting them independence. This note appeared in the same year the Geneva Accords ended French military involvement in Indochina, making it one of the final emissions of an institution already marked for dissolution. Cambodia's own National Bank opened in 1954, and the Institut was wound down shortly after.
The Banque de France printing plant in Paris handled production throughout the series. Cambodia-specific issues were distinguished by overprint and color variants rather than wholly redesigned plates.
