| Obverse description | Central field depicts a traditional Lao temple (sim) rendered in fine relief, flanked by tropical palm trees on either side. In the foreground, two elephants are shown in profile facing one another before the temple facade, their trunks raised in a ceremonial posture. The fineness hallmark 'Ag 925' appears in the lower central field. The denomination '50000 Kip' is inscribed in a bold legend along the lower rim, while a Lao script legend curves along the upper arc of the field. |

| Reverse description | Central design features the That Luang stupa of Vientiane depicted in high relief, surmounted by radiating sunbeams that fill the upper field. In the foreground, a seated figure — likely representing King Setthathirath, founder of Vientiane as the royal capital — is shown in a formal pose before the stupa complex, with decorative architectural elements and mythological creatures flanking the base. A Lao script legend curves around the upper periphery of the field in three sections. The inscriptions 'VIENTIANE' and '450' appear in bold Latin characters along the lower rim, commemorating the 450th anniversary of Vientiane as the capital. |
