Interesting fact

The 50 Riels coin featuring Norodom Sihanouk, issued in 1994, is a unique coin as it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Cambodia. Due to inflation, the value of the Cambodian currency, the riel, devalued significantly, leading to the production of this coin with a low denomination value of 50 riels. Despite its low value, the coin remains a collectible item among numismatists due to its historical significance and limited mintage.
