| Additional information |
The Bank of the Lao PDR has issued Chinese lunar calendar commemoratives since the 1990s, targeting collector markets in China, Hong Kong, and the diaspora rather than domestic circulation — these pieces are effectively export commodities from the moment of striking. The 2018 dog year issue follows a well-established pattern for the series, produced for a collector audience that never handled Lao currency in any other form.
