| Comments |
Cambodia's National Bank was re-established in 1979 after the Khmer Rouge had abolished money entirely and physically destroyed the previous central bank building. The 1992 series represented a continued effort to rebuild a functioning monetary system in a country still emerging from decades of war and occupation. The 50 Riels denomination sat at the low end of daily transactions and saw heavy circulation in the early 1990s, coinciding with the UNTAC period when the country was effectively under UN transitional administration.
The print date in the data — 30.04.1945 — is almost certainly a catalog error and should be treated with skepticism.
