Comment
These local mints can be recognized by the fact that they are made from worn corners with multiple corner breaks. They probably date from 1899 and were minted in Phnom Penh. Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image 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 and was known for his efforts to modernize and centralize the government. The coin's design was likely created to commemorate his reign and to promote the use of the silver currency in Cambodia.
