| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized representation of a three-towered Khmer royal palace or temple gate, rendered in a formal, symmetrical composition characteristic of traditional Cambodian decorative art. The central tower, taller than the flanking ones, features tiered rooflines surmounted by pinnacles, with decorative flame finials at the sides. Within the arched central gateway, a Khmer script inscription gives the denomination and date. A decorative foliate border runs along the base, and the whole design is contained within a reeded rim. |

| Additional information |
Ang Duong, who ruled as king under joint Siamese and Vietnamese suzerainty from 1840, made deliberate efforts to reassert Khmer administrative independence — issuing coinage was part of that project. The original 1847 tical was among Cambodia's first attempts at a Western-style round coinage, a format encouraged by his exposure to regional trading currencies. This piece is a later replica pattern, not a product of the original issue, and its white metal composition places it firmly outside any official 19th-century Cambodian mint output.
