| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uniface hammered billon coin struck on a round, dished flan. The central device depicts a fine-style Hamsa (sacred goose) in left profile, rendered with a single beak, a distinctive crest featuring both horizontal and vertical elements, and detailed body plumage. Before the bird, a vine with bud and branch is present. The upper tail feathers are elaborated with a curved and branched fore feather, while the back feather is curved and adorned with five horizontal elements to the rear. Interior body detailing reflects the refined artistic conventions of mid-nineteenth century Cambodian billon coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Cambodia's billon coinage of this period was produced under the reign of Ang Duong, who ruled as a tributary king caught between Siamese and Vietnamese imperial pressure. These small-denomination pieces circulated in a monetary environment where foreign coins — Vietnamese cash, Siamese bullet money, and Chinese copper — competed freely in local markets. The Khmer royal issues were never the dominant currency even within their own kingdom.
The billon alloy itself signals fiscal constraint. By mid-century the royal treasury had limited access to pure silver.
