50 000 Kip Year of the Horse

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.
