| Additional information |
The 2002 FIFA World Cup was the first held jointly by two nations — South Korea and Japan — a co-hosting arrangement that generated considerable political friction during the bidding process and remained contentious through the tournament itself. Laos had no qualifying presence, making this a purely commercial commemorative aimed at the collector market rather than any domestic footballing milestone.
Issues of this type from the Bank of the Lao PDR were typically produced by external mints under contract, with the issuing authority functioning in name only.
