Found it! Temporarily mislabeled this coin in the unknown envelope the last time I went through my foreign coins. Since I only have this one Cambodian coin I often forget about it. There are no recognizable symbols or designs that I associate with Cambodia.

That's a pretty amazing coin, when you think about it. In 1979, the Khmer Rouge was in its death throes (good riddance). If I recall the Khmer Rouge wanted a society that had no money - I don't think they coined any money & it wouldn't have surprised me if they managed to kill anybody who knew how mint coins. A 1979 coin means that it was one of the first minted during the aftermath.

Yes, it was an interesting time. The Khmer Republic did have one circulating coin issued by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The rest were silver and gold I think for special presentations. Always limited to less than 1,000.
After 1979 they did not mint any until 1988.
Thanks for the info.

Slightly less were made but thanks to hoarders many are just sitting in drawers or in rolls. There is a false belief that they will be worth much more in the future.
