Cambodia 5000 riels Apsara Dancers Khmer KM-61 PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1974

The Cambodia 5000 Riels 1974 Apsara Dancers coin is an elegant silver issue celebrating the spiritual and artistic heritage of the Khmer civilization. Issued during the period of the Khmer Republic, this coin honors the Apsara, the celestial dancers deeply rooted in Cambodian mythology, classical dance, and temple art, especially associated with Angkor Wat bas-reliefs.

The reverse features three graceful Apsara dancers arranged in a harmonious tri-figure composition. Each figure wears an ornate headdress with intricate floral and geometric details, along with layered necklaces, bracelets, and traditional garments. Their hands are positioned in refined classical dance gestures, symbolizing elegance, balance, and divine beauty. The inscription “REPUBLIQUE KHMER” curves along the upper rim, while below the figures appears the text “APSARA DANCERS,” integrated subtly into the mirrored field.

The obverse displays the national emblem of the Khmer Republic, with Angkor Wat prominently at its center, framed by stylized agricultural motifs and decorative elements. Khmer script encircles the upper portion, while the denomination “5000 RIELS” is shown in both Latin and Khmer numerals. Laurel branches flank the sides, and the year “1974” is placed at the bottom, completing the official design.

Struck in silver with Proof finish and certified PCGS PR67, this coin exhibits sharp reliefs, frosted devices, and reflective fields. A highly desirable piece for collectors of Khmer culture, traditional dance, and classic Cambodian silver coinage.
