Descrizione del rovescio	Central device depicts a five-masted clipper ship rendered in fine detail, shown underway on a stylized sea with horizontal wave lines in the lower field. The vessel's full complement of sails is set on all five masts, with a bowsprit extending to the right. The date '1988' appears in the lower left of the field, partially overlapping the waves. The curved legend 'FIVE MAST CLIPPER' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capital letters.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Laos issued a wave of collector-oriented commemoratives through the late 1980s with little meaningful domestic circulation — the kip's purchasing power and the country's limited hard currency access made these pieces effectively export products sold through international coin dealers rather than instruments of trade. The five-masted clipper series belongs squarely to that category. By 1988 the State Bank was regularly licensing foreign minting arrangements to generate convertible currency, a practice common among socialist states navigating Cold War-era trade restrictions.
