Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Tical - Norodom I (Pattern) 1208 (1847) from Cambodia made of White metal is a rare and valuable coin. It is interesting to note that this coin was minted during the reign of King Norodom I, who was the first king of Cambodia and ruled from 1860 to 1904. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and a Buddhist temple on the other, reflecting the country's rich cultural heritage. Additionally, the use of white metal in the coin's minting process was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable alternative to silver or gold, making it more accessible to the general population.
