Cambodia's bullet coinage — of which this is a representative type — was produced by folding and hammering planchets into dense, irregular lumps rather than striking flat dies, a technique shared across much of mainland Southeast Asia and persistent in the region for centuries. Attribution to a specific reign year within this tradition is often conventional rather than documentary; the 1550 date reflects scholarly periodization, not a mint record.
