正面描述	The national emblem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic is depicted at centre, comprising a stylised wreath of rice stalks framing a landscape scene with a road, paddy fields, and the That Luang stupa in the background, all above a gear wheel and a ribbon bearing a Lao-script inscription. The circular legend THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, while the date 2004 appears in the lower exergue.

附加信息	Laos issued a series of wildlife-themed silver coins in the early 2000s partly in response to international conservation pressure — the country's forests were under severe logging stress, and the northern and eastern gibbon populations had been fragmented to the point where field surveys struggled to locate breeding groups. The black crested gibbon (Nomascus concolor) was already categorized as critically endangered, with the Laotian subpopulation considered one of the last viable ones in existence. These coins were struck for the collector market rather than domestic circulation — 15,000 kip was a nominal face value with no practical purchasing relationship to a silver 20g piece in Vientiane in 2004.
