This featureless reverse is a defining characteristic of this series of small Cambodian silver fractional coinage issued during the reign of King Ang Duong. |

| Additional information |
Cambodia's mid-nineteenth century coinage was produced under the reign of Ang Duong, who sought to reassert Khmer political identity while navigating the competing pressures of Siamese suzerainty and expanding French interest in the region. These small silver pieces were struck at a moment when the kingdom's independence was effectively on a countdown — France established its protectorate over Cambodia in 1863, just three years after this type's production ended.
