🪙 Numismatic & Cultural Context
The Cambodian riel (KHR) is the official currency of Cambodia, reintroduced in its modern form in 1980 after earlier interruptions in the 20th century. Cambodia has operated a “Second riel” currency system since then, with the National Bank of Cambodia issuing paper banknotes that combine cultural symbols, historical monuments, and national development motifs across various denominations.
Each banknote in this set offers:
- Architectural and Cultural Imagery: from temples like Banteay Srei and iconic monuments in Phnom Penh to engineering landmarks like Kizuna Bridge.
- Historical Narrative: banknotes serve as miniature time capsules showcasing Cambodia’s cultural priorities during the early 21st century.
- Educational Value: collectors gain insight into the design evolution, security features, and national symbols associated with Cambodian currency issuance in the 2000s.

CONDITION GUIDE
Gem Uncirculated
A note that is flawless, with the same freshness, crispness and bright color as when first printed. It
must be perfectly centered, with full margins, and free of any marks, blemishes or traces of handling.
About Uncirculated
A bright, crisp note that appears new but upon close examination shows a trace of very light use, such as a corner fold or faint crease. 'About Uncirculated' is a borderline condition, applied to a note which may not be quite uncirculated, but yet is obviously better than an average Extra Fine note. Such notes command a price only slightly below a new note and are highly desirable.
Extra Fine
A note that shows some faint evidence of circulation, although it will still be bright and retain nearly full crispness. It may have two or three minor folds or creases but no tears or stains and no discolorations.
Very Fine
A note that has been in circulation, but not actively or for long. It still retains some crispness and is still choice enough in its condition to be altogether desirable. It may show folds or creases, or some light smudges from the hands of a past generation. Sometimes, Very Fine notes are the best available in certain rare issues, and they should accordingly be cherished just as much as uncirculated notes.
Fine
A fine note shows evidence of much more circulation, has lost its crispness and very fine detail, and creases are more pronounced, although the note is still not seriously soiled or stained.
