Hi Folks,

My memory is failing me. I recently purchased this coin at a coin fair several months ago. I'm sure, at the time, Sap told me the country of origin but I am only now entering it into my collection and my memory has failed me. It is ~13mm diam and about 1g in weight. Looks brass or bronze but may be low quality billon. Detail only on 1 side, reverse is blank. Zeno, Numista and Coinoscope have all failed me.

Many thanks

No problem, David - glad I was able to help. I had been looking to purchase some Cambodian coins earlier in the week so I recognized it right away.
