Cambodia 10000 riels Borobudur Indonesia PR69 PCGS bimetal silver coin 2007 2008

The Cambodia 10,000 Riels Borobudur coin, issued in 2007–2008, is a striking bimetallic silver collectible dedicated to one of Southeast Asia’s greatest spiritual monuments. Part of an international series celebrating world heritage sites, this coin unites Cambodian numismatics with the cultural legacy of Indonesia’s Borobudur Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage landmark and a pinnacle of Buddhist art and architecture.

The obverse features a finely sculpted bust of King Jayavarman VII, shown from the chest upward, rendered in high relief against a mirrored Proof background. His calm expression reflects the historical image of a ruler devoted to Buddhism and monumental construction. Surrounding inscriptions include the ruler’s name and dates, the country name “Kingdom of Cambodia,” the denomination “10,000 Riels,” and the year. Small dot separators and a clean raised rim frame the composition with balance and clarity.

The reverse presents a rich, symbolic scene centered on Borobudur Temple. A golden-toned inner disc displays a seated Buddha figure in serene meditation, while the surrounding silver ring depicts stylized architectural elements, temple stupas, and outlines of famous world monuments, reinforcing the theme of global heritage. Circular inscriptions reference Borobudur and world wonders, complemented by fine ornamental detailing and polished fields.

Struck in silver with bimetallic construction, finished in Proof Deep Cameo quality, and certified PCGS PR69 DCAM, this coin stands out for its artistic complexity and cross-cultural message. A beautiful choice for collectors of Asian history, Buddhism, and world heritage coinage.
