| Additional information |
The Slin — one-eighth of a Fuang — circulated during the reign of Norodom I, issued as Cambodia struggled to maintain a functioning indigenous coinage system under increasing French pressure. Paris formally established the Protectorate in 1863, and within two decades French Indochinese currency had largely displaced native Khmer issues from everyday commerce. Surviving Slins in billon are considerably scarcer than their copper counterparts, as the alloy varied opportunistically with whatever metal the Phnom Penh mint had available.
