triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9390 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 01:07 am I have owned this coin for some time and the 2 x 2 that it came in, identified it as a 1847 1/8 Tical. I finally got around to having a closer look today and I am not convinced it is a 1/8 tical. There is not much info on the internet, but I think it might be a 2 Pe, as that is the only option I can find that has a cross on it. My thoughts are that it could be KM#31a.1, which on this site, is listed as the rarest. https://coincoin.com/seCB.htm Any experts on Cambodian coins out there? Diameter varies from 10.8 to 13.9mm. (within tolerance for a 2 Pe) Weight is 1.36g. (within tolerance for a 2 Pe) Thickness is 1mm. It is non-magnetic, Coin is uniface and actually looks a little more silvery in hand.

erafjel Pillar of the Community Sweden 2124 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 06:58 am I'm no expert, but have a brief interest in Cambodian coins. Have you seen this article, which makes a classification of uniface coins like this and others? https://www.academia.edu/34862345/T...19th_century According to the article, your coin is a type D5 1 slin coin in a reduced weight standard, which has at least on occasion been equated with 2 pe (that is the denomination Numista assigns to these coins). And also according to the article, type D5 seems to be rare. Report this Post to the Staff

triggersmob Pillar of the Community Australia 9390 Posts	Posted 02/11/2023 9:29 pm Now that I have had more time to read the article in Erafjel's link, I think my coin might be D2, not D5, as the D2 has a circle, but the D5 does not. D2 D5 Also seems that the Slin was also referred to a 2 Pe, half fuong, 1/8 Tical or 1 Fuang. Info and pictures borrowed from ...
