| Obverse description | The national arms of the Lao People's Democratic Republic displayed in the central field, depicting Pha That Luang stupa above a stylized landscape with rice paddies, flanked by a wreath of grain stalks tied at the base with a ribbon bearing an inscription in Lao script, and a half cogwheel at the foot of the wreath. The legend THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC arcs around the upper periphery, and the date 2005 appears in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Laos issued a run of small-format gold coins in the mid-2000s targeting the Asian bullion gift market, particularly around Lunar New Year. The rooster issue falls outside the standard twelve-animal cycle that most mints coordinated for 2005 — that year was the Year of the Rooster in the Chinese lunisolar calendar, making this a deliberate commercial alignment rather than a numismatic priority. The Bank of the Lao PDR had negligible domestic demand for fractional gold coinage; these were struck for export collectors and never meaningfully circulated within Laos itself.
