Interesting fact
The 1 Franc - Norodom I 1860 coin from Cambodia is interesting because it features a portrait of King Norodom I, who was the first king of Cambodia and ruled from 1860 to 1904. He played a significant role in the country's history, leading Cambodia through a period of significant political and social change, including the country's transition from a vassal state of Siam to a French protectorate. The coin's design was created by the French engraver, Albert-Désiré Barre, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
