Cambodia 10-SEN (KM54)
Kong
Later, in 1959, the 10-centimes coin was reissued as this 10-sen coin (one year only). Originally, there were 100 centimes to the franc, but I am assuming they renamed it to sen.
The Kong is a mythological bird associated with royalty in Thailand. Thai influence is strong in Cambodia, with close ties to Hindu and Buddhist culture.
