| Reverse description | The reverse features a coloured composition depicting a traditional Russian troika — three white horses harnessed abreast with vivid red harnesses — advancing toward the viewer in dynamic relief. The horses are set against a coloured winter landscape with snow-laden fir trees flanking the composition and a Russian Orthodox church with a gold-domed cupola visible in the background. The border is decorated with an ornate wreath of stylised snowflakes and frost foliage rendered in the silver field. Dark storm clouds in the upper field and a black foreground ground enhance the dramatic seasonal atmosphere of the design. |

| Additional information |
Laos has issued a consistent run of lunar New Year coins since the early 2000s, largely targeting the Southeast Asian collector market and overseas Lao diaspora communities. The Year of the Horse falls in 2026 under the sexagenary cycle, making this a Fire Horse year — a combination that recurs only every sixty years and carries particular cultural weight across Lao, Thai, and Chinese traditions.
The Bank of the Lao PDR issues these coins with no meaningful domestic circulation; they are struck to proof standard and sold directly through international distributors.
