| Comments |
Cambodia's 1992–1993 note issue coincided almost exactly with the UNTAC period — the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia administered the country from 1992 to 1993 while organizing elections after two decades of civil war, genocide, and Vietnamese occupation. The National Bank had only been reconstituted in 1980; the Khmer Rouge had abolished paper money entirely and physically destroyed the central bank building in Phnom Penh in 1975.
A print run of just over twelve million is modest for a circulating denomination, and many notes from this transitional period absorbed hard use quickly in an economy rebuilding from near zero.
