| Obverse description | Central field depicts a detailed high-relief view of the Bakong Temple, a ninth-century Hindu mountain temple of the Roluos group, rendered with architectural precision showing its tiered prasat tower and gallery walls. The inscription KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA arcs along the upper legend in raised Latin letters, while the denomination 3000 RIELS appears in the lower legend. The label BAKONG TEMPLE is inscribed in the lower central field identifying the monument. The design is framed by an inner beaded border and an outer dotted border, giving the obverse a formal, heraldic composition. |

Cambodia's lunar series issues from this period were produced under contract by foreign mints — the National Bank of Cambodia held nominal issuing authority but had no domestic facility capable of striking collector-grade silver. The 2007 Pig issue falls squarely in a run of themed pieces marketed primarily to Southeast Asian collectors and the diaspora commemorative trade, where the twelve-year zodiac cycle drives demand far more than any monetary policy consideration.
