Cambodia 3000 riels, issued in 2005, is an elegant silver proof coin dedicated to Kathak Dance, one of the most expressive classical dance traditions of India. Released by the Kingdom of Cambodia within an international cultural series, this coin highlights the shared appreciation of artistic heritage across civilizations.

The reverse features a dynamic and partially colorized image of an Indian Kathak dancer captured in a graceful pose with raised arms and flowing garments. The dancer’s costume is graphical and richly detailed, emphasizing movement, rhythm, and balance. Behind the figure appears an intricate ornamental pattern composed of swirling floral and geometric elements, creating depth and visual harmony. The inscription “Kathak Dance” curves along the rim, while mirrored fields contrast with frosted and colored design elements.

The obverse displays a sculptural bust of King Jayavarman VII (1162–1201), the great Khmer ruler renowned for his patronage of culture, religion, and monumental architecture. The high-relief portrait is set against reflective proof fields. Inscriptions include “Kingdom of Cambodia”, the denomination “3,000 Riels”, the ruler’s name and life dates, and a small square date mark 2006, framed by a clean circular border.
