| Obverse description | The national emblem of the Lao People's Democratic Republic occupies the central field, depicting a stylised landscape with a road, paddy fields, forests, and an electrification pylon, surmounted by a hammer and sickle with a five-pointed star above, all flanked by sheaves of rice tied with a ribbon bearing Lao script inscriptions. The circular legend reads 'THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC' along the upper rim in Latin characters, while the denomination '50 KIP.' appears in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | A dynamic composition in the mirror-polished field depicts two prehistoric marine reptiles in combat: the long-necked plesiosaur Elasmosaurus, rendered with its sinuous neck arched downward, confronts the massive mosasaur Tylosaurus, shown with jaws agape and paddle-like flippers extended amid stylised ocean waves. The legend 'PREHISTORIC ANIMALS' arcs across the upper rim, with 'ELASMOSAURUS' inscribed at the left and 'TYLOSAURUS' along the lower rim. The date '1994' appears in the lower right field. |
