| Obverse description | Central device depicts a ceremonial Lao pedestal bowl (khan) surmounted by an open book or sacred text from which radiates a rising sun with diverging rays, the whole ensemble pierced at center. The circular legend reads 'ROYAUME DU LAOS' in Latin script to the left and in Lao script to the right, separated at the top by a small ornamental star. The date '1952' appears in the lower exergue in Arabic numerals, flanked by the equivalent date in Lao script. The design is rendered in a clean, low-relief style characteristic of French colonial essai coinage. |
