This set of six stamps, issued by Cambodia in 1956, commemorates the coronation of King Norodom Sihanouk. Each stamp features a dignified portrait of the young king seated on a throne, presented in various colors and denominations.

The stamps mark the coronation of Norodom Sihanouk, a pivotal figure in Cambodian history who had abdicated in 1955 to engage in politics and was re-crowned in 1956. This event symbolized the nation's post-colonial identity and the enduring role of the monarchy.
