| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two distinct decorative zones by an ornate floral border frame. The left field features a detailed depiction of Pha That Luang, the iconic gilded Buddhist stupa of Vientiane, rendered in fine relief within a recessed panel. The right field displays naturalistic spruce branches bearing pine cones in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The legend 'BANK OF THE LAO PDR' arcs across the upper left, with the denomination '50000 Kip' inscribed vertically along the central dividing border. The date '2016' appears in the lower field, while the Moscow Mint monogram and the fineness mark 'Ag 925' are situated to the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a cartoonish gold-plated monkey rendered in selective gold plating, shown ice-skating dynamically in the centre of the field. The monkey raises a hockey stick aloft in one hand while gliding on ice skates, its tail curling playfully behind. The background is a wintry outdoor scene engraved in fine relief, featuring snow-laden fir trees, a snowy hillside, and scattered snowflake motifs throughout the field. The overall composition evokes a festive New Year theme celebrating the Chinese lunar Year of the Monkey. |
