| Obverse lettering | BANK OF THE LAO PDR 3 oz Ag 999.9 1000 KIP |
| Reverse description | The reverse features five gold-plated high-relief figures of athletes engaged in Olympic combat and martial sports — judo, boxing, wrestling, fencing, and taekwondo — arranged in a radial composition around a central medallion. At the centre, the Olympic rings appear beneath a small flag motif, above the two-line inscription OLYMPIC GAMES 2020 set in the polished field. The legend THREE OUNCES FINE SILVER 999.9 curves along the lower left arc of the design, separating two of the sporting vignettes. The contrasting gold-plated athlete figures against the frosted and mirror-polished silver field create a vivid two-tone proof presentation. |

| Additional information |
Laos has issued commemorative coinage under the Bank of the Lao PDR since the late 1980s, almost entirely for the collector export market — these pieces rarely if ever circulate domestically. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics, of course, were not held in 2020; the Games were postponed to July 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, making coins dated 2020 technically misaligned with the actual event by a full year.
