Commentary
Pour différencier les pièces frappées à Bruxelles ou à Phnom-Penh, le poids pourrait être déterminant. En effet la série de Bruxelles est toujours proche du poids théorique alors que la série de Phnom-Penh est légère. Les mêmes règles peuvent être appliquées pour les pièces de 4, 2 et 1 francs, 50 et 25 centimes qui ne sont pas distinguées par ce moyen dans le nouvel ouvrage de Jean Lecompte qui ne retient que le style fruste de l'émission de 1899.
To differentiate between coins minted in Brussels and Phnom Penh, weight could be decisive. Indeed, the Brussels series is always close to the theoretical weight, while the Phnom Penh series is light. The same rules can be applied to the 4, 2 and 1 franc, 50 and 25 centime coins, which are not distinguished by this means in the new work by Jean Lecompte, which only retains the crude style of the 1899 issue.

Historical background
CAMBODIA - KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA - NORODOM I
(1860-1904)
Norodom I asked for help from France against Annam, Siam and Cochin China. A French protectorate was established on August 11, 1863 (Treaty of Paris). The corners of the first coins were made by Charles Wurden, a Brussels engraver, around 1875 and ceded to the king. The crude coins were perhaps minted on the spot on the order of Norodom I. They were offered at major events. These coins were possibly made and put into circulation in 1899 at the time of the cremation of the Queen Mother who had died two years earlier. Norodom died in 1904. His death gave rise to a monetary issue in 1905.
