Is it you?

I believe it. If Cambodia is anything like Thailand, then a lot of the people there are of Chinese heritage. I really don't know if Cambodia has many in country collectors.

Why is this in Unusual Coins? I don't have a copy of that.

Well,Cambodian coins are very very terible.I think that is the most important reason.Do you know Cambodian coins has £ºOriginal strike and restrike?On the krause book,it was said:the original examples are heavily,20 grams and the restrick one about 16 grams.But that is not right,one of my friend is a Cambodian coins collector,he bought a lot from the famous FOX collection.He has a 16 grams example but NGC original.Until now,he think the best way to recognize which is a restrick is:the blank.The restrick examples were struck at about 189X,they used the old die to struck it.Because of the old die's broken(too many years in the warehouse)So the restrick examples 's blank are very clude.silver spots on and weakly struck in the center on rev..
