About this banknote
The National Bank of Cambodia issued the 1 riel banknote in 1955, following the country's independence from France in 1953. This marked the introduction of Cambodia's own currency, replacing the French Indochinese piastre.
The front of the note features a figure of 'Kinnari' with raised arms on the left side. The reverse depicts a royal houseboat on the left. The banknote includes an elephant watermark and was printed by Thomas De La Rue without an imprint.
