Interesting fact
The ¼ Tical ND (1580-1603) coin from Cambodia made of Gold weighing 3.56 g is interesting because it is a rare example of a gold coin from a country that did not widely use gold in its currency. The use of gold in Cambodian currency was limited during this time period, making this coin a unique and valuable piece for collectors.
