| Reverse description | Central field features a large stylized eight-petaled lotus or leaf rosette, each petal finely detailed with incised veining, surrounding a central circular perforation. The denomination '50' appears to the lower left and 'CENTS' to the lower right in Latin characters, while Lao numeral equivalents flank the rosette at mid-field. Above the central device, the royal cypher or Lao script legend is inscribed at the top of the field. Below the rosette the word 'ESSAI' is inscribed in small capitals, identifying this piece as a pattern strike, with the date '1952' flanked by small ornamental devices in the lower portion of the field. |
