This Cambodia 50 Riels banknote from 2002 represents an authentic piece of Southeast Asian numismatic history. Issued by the National Bank of Cambodia during the reign of King Norodom Sihanouk (1993-2004), this standard circulation note carries significant historical weight. Measuring 130 × 60 mm, this paper currency was part of the Second Riel series that began in 1979, following Cambodia's complex post-conflict recovery period. What makes this particular note exceptional is its GEM UNC (Gem Uncirculated) condition—a premium grade that collectors actively seek. Each purchase includes a different serial number, adding to the individual character and authenticity of your acquisition. The 2002 issue from this denomination period is increasingly scarce as vintage Cambodian currency continues to appreciate among serious collectors. This note appeals to both numismatic enthusiasts and historical collectors interested in modern Asian banknotes. Its combination of pristine condition, documented provenance, and the fascinating backdrop of Cambodia's post-UNTAC era makes it a worthwhile addition to any collection. These notes represent not just currency, but tangible reminders of a nation's monetary heritage during a transformative era.
