| Obverse description | Central device depicts a detailed frontal view of the Angkor Wat temple complex, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field, showing the characteristic five towers and tiered gallery facades. The Khmer legend ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា (Kingdom of Cambodia) arcs along the upper periphery in large script characters. The denomination ៣០០០ រៀល and the Latin equivalent 3000 RIELS appear in the lower portion of the coin, flanking the Gregorian year 2020, while the Buddhist calendar year ២៥៦៣ appears to the lower left. |

Cambodia's participation in the Tokyo Olympics was, like the games themselves, defined almost entirely by the COVID-19 postponement announced in March 2020 — meaning this coin was struck to commemorate an event that would not occur until 2021. The National Bank of Cambodia has issued commemorative silver pieces under the 3,000 riels denomination repeatedly in the modern era, typically through arrangements with foreign minting and marketing intermediaries rather than domestic production.
