Additional information

Laos issued a wave of commemorative silver pieces throughout the 1990s almost entirely for the collector export market — the domestic economy ran on aluminum and low-denomination base-metal coinage, and these pieces never circulated within the country. The 1994 FIFA World Cup was held in the United States, making a 1996 issue a retrospective commemoration rather than an anticipatory one, a dating quirk common to smaller issuing authorities working through private minting intermediaries of that period.
