50 Sen coin with a richly detailed design and strong symbolic meaning, where the obverse shows a ceremonial altar framed by complex decorative elements inspired by traditional Khmer, highlighting the fineness of the engraving. The reverse presents a more orderly composition, with a French legend and the value in Khmer surrounded by a well-defined laurel wreath.
