| Obverse description | The national arms of the Lao People's Democratic Republic depicted centrally, comprising a stylised stupa flanked by decorative wreath elements within a circular frame. The circular legend 'THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script, with the denomination '1000 KIP' inscribed in the lower field. The design is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof field, bounded by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
Laos has no Olympic tradition to speak of — the country sent its first athletes to the Games in 1980 and has never won a medal. These silver issues are produced under licensing arrangements common to small-nation mints and are aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation, with output typically coordinated through external minting houses rather than the Banque de la RDP Lao itself.
