| Additional information |
Laos had no meaningful connection to the 2006 World Cup held in Germany — no qualification, no historical football pedigree, no hosting role. This piece belongs to a category of licensed FIFA commemoratives issued by dozens of peripheral nations throughout the 1990s and 2000s, produced almost entirely for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. The Bank of the Lao PDR issued several such coins across different denominations during this period, contracting through third-party minting arrangements common to small-economy commemorative programs.
KM# 105 places it within a short sequence of Lao silver issues from the mid-2000s, none of which saw meaningful use as currency.
