7 May 2014

The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) issued a new 50,000-Riel (equivalent to some US$12.50) banknote to celebrate the 61st birthday of His Majesty Norodom Sihamoni, King of Cambodia (14 May).

The issuance of the 155-mm long and 72-mm wide new banknote was announced today in a Prakas signed by H.E. Chea Chanto, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia. The banknote depicts the portrait of the late King-Father Samdech Preah Norodom Sihanouk on the front, and the picture of Bakong Temple and a baby elephant on the back. This new banknote was put in use from May 6 along with other existing official banknotes.
