Cambodia 3000 riels Balinese Dance Lelong Culture PR70 PCGS silver coin 2007

The Cambodia 3000 Riels silver coin of 2007 is an exquisite cultural issue dedicated to the Legong Dance, one of the most refined and expressive classical dances of Southeast Asia. Issued by the Kingdom of Cambodia, this coin celebrates traditional performance art and cross-cultural heritage through a visually rich design combined with exceptional proof quality.

The reverse features a striking colorized image of a Legong dancer captured mid-pose, wearing an elaborate golden headdress adorned with floral elements, expressive facial makeup, and a richly patterned traditional costume. The dancer holds an open fan, a central element of Legong choreography that symbolizes grace, precision, and rhythm. To the left, a sculptural silver relief depicts seated musicians, emphasizing the importance of live musical accompaniment in traditional dance performances. The inscription “THE LEGONG” curves along the upper rim, while a beaded inner border frames the entire composition.

The obverse presents a dignified bust of King Jayavarman VII, shown with calm facial features and a strong, monumental presence. Surrounding legends include “KING JAYAVARMAN VII 1162–1201,” “KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA,” the denomination “3000 RIELS,” and the year 2007. The contrast between frosted relief and mirrored fields enhances the sculptural depth of the portrait.

Struck in silver with proof quality, this coin is certified by PCGS with a flawless PR70 grade, representing the highest level of preservation. A remarkable cultural collectible that unites dance, history, and numismatic excellence.
