| Obverse description | Central field depicts a detailed frontal view of That Luang (Pha That Luang), the iconic gilded Buddhist stupa and national symbol of Laos, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished black field. The surrounding temple complex with its ornate spires, enclosure walls, and ceremonial gateway is faithfully reproduced in fine detail. The legend 'Bank of the LAO PDR' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin characters. To the lower left, the fineness mark 'Ag 925' appears vertically, while the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД) is positioned to the right of the central motif. The denomination '50000 Kip' and the date '• 2023 •' are inscribed in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Laos has issued commemorative silver in modest but consistent runs since the 1990s, typically through arrangements with foreign minting houses — this piece almost certainly struck in Europe rather than domestically, as the Lao PDR operates no facility capable of producing .925 silver commemoratives to this specification. The 50,000 kip face value is purely nominal; at current exchange rates it represents roughly three US dollars against a silver melt value many times that.
