| Reverse description | A stylized four-leaf clover filling the entire clover-shaped flan, each heart-shaped leaflet rendered in vivid green color enamel with detailed vein work radiating from a central stem junction. The silver border of the flan is left uncolored, providing a bright contrast to the enameled design. A suspension hole is pierced at the bottom of the flan, consistent with the coin's function as a lucky charm pendant. |

| Additional information |
Laos has issued a steady stream of commemorative silver pieces aimed squarely at the collector and gift market since the 1990s, and this falls squarely in that category. The Lucky Clover motif taps into pan-Asian good-fortune symbolism that sells well at point-of-sale in gift shops across Southeast Asia and through European dealer networks — the Banque Nationale du Laos has long partnered with foreign minting houses to produce exactly this kind of piece for export revenue rather than domestic circulation.
