Comment
Various local merchant countermarks in Chinese or other scripts are known to exist for KM#36-37.Interesting fact
The 1 Tical - Norodom I (thin flan) 1208 (1847) coin from Cambodia is interesting because it features a unique blend of Khmer and French design elements. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of King Norodom I, while the reverse side features a depiction of a Cambodian temple and the French motto "Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité" (Liberty, Equality, Fraternity). This blending of cultures reflects the complex history of Cambodia during the 19th century, when the country was a French protectorate.
