| Additional information |
Issued under the bilateral friendship coin program that Japan and Cambodia formalized in the early 2000s, this piece reflects Japan's position as one of Cambodia's largest foreign aid donors — a relationship rebuilt carefully after Japan's wartime occupation of French Indochina and the subsequent decades of Khmer Rouge isolation that severed most international ties. The National Bank of Cambodia has leaned heavily on commemorative silver issues since the 1990s as a foreign-currency revenue stream, with most pieces produced by Japanese minting contractors and sold primarily to Japanese collectors rather than circulating domestically.
