Interesting fact
The 2 Pe / ½ Fuang coin from Cambodia, made of silver and weighing 1.32g, is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant cultural and political change in the country. The coin was minted during the reign of King Ang Duong, who ruled Cambodia from 1841 to 1860. This was a period of great modernization and Westernization in Cambodia, and the coin reflects this shift in cultural influence. The coin's design features a blend of traditional Khmer motifs and European-style imagery, showcasing the cultural exchange that was taking place during this time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and small weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Southeast Asian currency.
