Cambodia 10000 riels President Lon Nol Khmer KM-62 PR 66 PCGS silver coin 1974

The Cambodia 10,000 Riels President Lon Nol coin, dated 1974, is a historically significant silver Proof issue from the Khmer Republic period. This coin is dedicated to Lon Nol, the first President of the Khmer Republic, and reflects a dramatic chapter in Cambodia’s modern political history during the early 1970s. Issued in a time of profound national transformation, the coin stands as both a numismatic artifact and a political symbol of its era.

The obverse features a realistic left-facing portrait of President Lon Nol in military uniform, rendered in refined high relief. Fine details are visible in the facial expression, hair, collar, and epaulettes, emphasizing authority and formality. The surrounding inscription reads “Republique Khmer,” with stars separating the text, while the lower legend identifies “Marechal Lon Nol 1er President.” The mirrored Proof field contrasts strongly with the frosted portrait, framed by a clean raised rim.

The reverse displays the national emblem of the Khmer Republic, prominently centered with three temple towers, symbolic elements, and a radiant sun motif above. Decorative branches flank the emblem on both sides. Below appear the denomination “10,000 Riels,” additional numerals, the date 1974, and Khmer script inscriptions. Polished fields, crisp lettering, and balanced symmetry complete the dignified design.

Struck in silver, finished in Proof Deep Cameo quality, and certified PCGS PR66 DCAM, this coin is an important collectible for those interested in Cambodian history, political themes, and certified world numismatics.
