The legend XXV OLYMPIAD is inscribed along the upper left periphery and BARCELONA 1992 along the upper right, both in Latin script. The issue year 1991 appears in the lower exergue beneath the cyclist. |

| Additional information |
Laos issued a series of sports-themed coins in the early 1990s anticipating the 1992 Barcelona Games — a curious exercise for a country that sent a delegation of just a handful of athletes and won no medals. These pieces were produced almost exclusively for the collector export market, with negligible domestic circulation, a pattern common to Lao commemorative issues of the period funded partly through foreign minting contracts.
