| Additional information |
Cambodia's mid-nineteenth century coinage was produced under the reign of Ang Duong, who sought to reassert Khmer political identity against encroaching Vietnamese and Siamese influence — minting silver currency being one of the few sovereign acts still available to him. French protectorate status arrived in 1863, after which indigenous Cambodian coinage effectively ceased.
