| Obverse description | The obverse features a detailed high-relief depiction of Angkor Wat, the iconic 12th-century Khmer temple complex, rendered in fine detail across the central field with its distinctive five towers rising above a treeline and reflecting pool. The legend 'KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA' arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering, while the denomination '30,000 RIELS' and the date '2023' are inscribed along the lower portion of the field. The overall design is presented in a bullion style with a broad, polished field framing the architectural motif. |

| Additional information |
Cambodia's wild tiger population is functionally extinct — the last confirmed sighting in the country was in 2007, and a 2016 WWF survey found no evidence of surviving individuals. This coin was issued in coordination with broader regional conservation efforts, though the irony of commemorating an animal already gone from Cambodian territory is not lost on most researchers working the subject.
