By 1972, the Banque Nationale du Cambodge was operating under the Khmer Republic — Lon Nol's government, which had deposed Sihanouk in 1970. This note was issued into an economy already under severe strain from war, displacement, and a collapse in agricultural output. Bradbury, Wilkinson produced competent security printing for dozens of post-colonial governments, and their work here is no exception technically, but the notes had a short and brutal useful life.
The entire Khmer Republic currency series was rendered worthless in April 1975 when the Khmer Rouge abolished money entirely — one of the few modern states to formally and deliberately eliminate its own monetary system.
