Interesting fact
The 4 Francs - Norodom I 1860 coin from Cambodia is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Norodom I, who was the first king of Cambodia and ruled from 1860 to 1904. The coin was made of silver (.900) and weighed 20 grams, which was a significant weight for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an image of King Norodom I on one side and a depiction of a Cambodian temple on the other, making it a unique and collectible piece of numismatic history.
