| Obverse description | The obverse features a central raised circular cartouche depicting Pha That Luang, the iconic gilded Buddhist stupa of Vientiane, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished field. The legend 'Bank of the LAO PDR' arcs along the upper portion of the cartouche in Latin script. The surrounding annular field is decorated with a boldly textured snake-scale pattern in high relief, evoking the theme of the series. In the lower portion of the field, outside the cartouche, appear the Moscow Mint monogram (ММД), the fineness mark 'Ag 925', the denomination '50 000 Kip', and the date '2025'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a vivid color-printed depiction of a coiled green snake rendered in meticulous detail, its scales individually articulated and highlighted with natural yellow-green tones, set against a monochrome silvered background of bare winter birch trees and a conifer forest. The legend 'YEAR OF THE SNAKE' arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin letters. To the lower right, the inscription 'by Kandinsky' appears in the field, crediting the AI-assisted design tool used in the creation of the artwork. A stylized AI chip icon is visible to the left of the snake, referencing the artificial intelligence design origin of the composition. |
