Cambodia – Banknotes

Cambodian banknotes include issues of the Cambodian riel, reflecting the country’s economic, political and cultural development from the 20th century to the present. The series feature historical figures, Buddhist cultural elements, architectural heritage such as Angkor Wat, natural landscapes, local fauna and symbolic motifs representing Cambodian identity, accompanying monetary reforms, periods of instability and phases of financial modernization. Due to their design variety, variants, signatures and historical relevance within Southeast Asia, Cambodian paper money is appreciated in international numismatics and sought after by world banknote collectors.
