10 000 Riels

Cambodia's 10,000-riel denomination has been in continuous issue since the 1990s, anchoring the upper end of everyday domestic transactions in a country where the US dollar circulates in parallel and often displaces the riel entirely for larger purchases. The 2015 date on this note reflects a routine replenishment printing rather than any redesign — Oberthur had been producing this series for the NBC for years by this point.

The security specification here is notably lean. A watermark as the sole listed feature on a high-denomination note issued in the mid-2010s is worth flagging for condition assessment, since the riel's practical ceiling in daily use made counterfeiting pressure real.
