Cambodia 76a, 77a

In 1960 Cambodia issued a set of three stamps to mark the opening of the port of Sihanoukville. The port, also known as Kompong Som, was named for Prince Norodom Sihanouk, who governed Cambodia in several capacities from 1941 until he abdicated as king in 2004.
The values of the 2r and 5r stamps is incorrectly given as 20r in the Cambodian script in the lower left corner of the stamps.
