3000 Riels Countdown to Tokyo

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.
