Cambodia United Nations Angkor Wat Palace Architecture SP70 PCGS Ag medal 1981

The Cambodia United Nations silver medal of 1981 presents a symbolic blend of national heritage and international cooperation, highlighting the architectural grandeur of Angkor Wat alongside the emblem of the United Nations. Struck in silver and issued as a medal rather than circulating coinage, this piece is preserved in exceptional Specimen quality and certified by PCGS with a flawless SP70 grade.

One side of the medal features a detailed frontal view of the Angkor Wat temple complex. The composition shows the long stone causeway leading toward the central towers, with carefully engraved paving lines creating depth and perspective. The iconic central sanctuary and surrounding towers rise symmetrically above the galleries, while palm trees and landscape elements frame the scene. Human figures walking along the causeway add scale and narrative detail. Khmer script appears above the temple, reinforcing the cultural identity of the design.

The opposite side displays the official emblem of the United Nations, consisting of a world map surrounded by olive branches. The emblem is encircled by multilingual inscriptions identifying the United Nations in different languages, forming a continuous circular legend. The mirrored fields and frosted relief produce strong contrast, emphasizing the medal’s refined finish.

This medal stands out for its artistic execution, international theme, and perfect state of preservation, making it a premium choice for collectors of United Nations memorabilia, Cambodian heritage issues, and certified modern silver medals.
