by Dr. Michel Tranet . Published date: 14 October 2009

The currency of Khmer in Funan time has not been defined the exact date yet. Therefore, this article is the first experiment to define the age for those currencies which were mostly made of silver, gold and copper. Through this research, we know that the ancient Khmer coins can be divided into two different eras: first era started from 1^st century to 4^th century and second era from 4^th century to 7^th century.
