Cambodia is a Southeast Asian nation whose landscape spans low-lying plains, the Mekong Delta, mountains and Gulf of Thailand coastline. Phnom Penh, its capital, is home to the art deco Central Market, glittering Royal Palace and the National Museum's historical and archaeological exhibits. In the country's northwest are the ruins of Angkor Wat, a massive stone temple complex built during the Khmer Empire.

The official currency of Cambodia is the riel. Today we are looking at 1 Riel banknote issued in 1972. This green note depicts on its obverse boats & ships, a typical dockside in port landscape. The reverse depicts the Royal Palace.
