Interesting fact

The Pattern 4 Riels (Barcelona 1992; Pattern) 1991 from Cambodia made of Nickel plated steel is a rare and unique coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was designed with a mistake. The coin features the image of King Sihanouk, but his name is spelled incorrectly in Khmer script. Instead of "ព្រះះបាទទិទិត្យសីីហនុ" (Preah Bat Samdech Sihanouk), it is spelled "ព្រះះបាទទិទិត្យសីីហនុុង" (Preah Bat Samdech Sihanouk Ng). This error makes the coin particularly valuable among collectors.
