| Obverse description | Central device depicting a sacred Hamsa bird (the royal goose of Cambodian heraldry) rendered in high relief, shown in profile facing left with elaborate plumage and scaled body. The bird is surrounded by Khmer script characters arranged around the field, reading the royal name and denomination. The design is executed in a traditional Khmer artistic style with bold, deeply incised lines characteristic of mid-19th century Cambodian coinage. |
