| Obverse description | The obverse features a centrally positioned depiction of That Luang, the iconic gilded Buddhist stupa and national symbol of Laos, rendered in fine detail against the distinctive swirling wood-grain patterned field characteristic of the Mokume Gane metalworking technique. The field displays flowing laminar striations of contrasting metal tones — copper and silver — curling across the entire surface. A beaded inner border encircles the central design. The legend BANK OF THE LAO PDR arcs along the upper field, with the date 2021 below it, and the denomination 500 KIP appears along the lower border. |
