| Additional information |
Laos issued a series of Olympic-themed commemoratives in 1989 despite having virtually no competitive presence in the sports depicted — water polo among them. The frosted water variety, catalogued separately from KM#36.2, results from a die treatment applied to the field areas representing the water surface, a detail that distinguishes the two variants beyond simple finish classification.
