Historical Background

The Royal Order of Cambodia (Ordre Royal du Cambodge) was founded in 1864 by King Norodom I and was later integrated into the French colonial honours system.
It was bestowed upon Cambodian nationals, French colonial officials, and foreigners for distinguished service and loyalty to the Kingdom or the Protectorate.

After Cambodia gained independence in 1953, the order continued to be used under royal authority until the disruptions caused by the political changes of the 1970s.

Today, original colonial-era insignia remain highly collectible for their rarity and historical significance.
