The curved legend 'THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '500 KIP' is inscribed in the lower field. A fine beaded border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | A naturalistic depiction of a lesser panda (red panda, Ailurus fulgens) is shown in profile, perched and walking along a large tree branch extending across the central field, its head lowered toward the left. A secondary leafy branch with small foliage rises to the right in the background, enhancing the wildlife habitat setting. The legend 'LESSER PANDA' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin letters, and the date '2000' appears in the lower field. The mirror-like proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed relief of the animal and vegetation. |
