| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2005 lunar new year cycle, this piece is a commemorative struck for the export collector market rather than domestic circulation — the Lao kip face value is essentially nominal against the production cost. The Bank of the Lao PDR produced several similar lunar series issues during the mid-2000s, largely distributed through European and Asian numismatic wholesalers.
Gold-plated bronze rather than solid gold, a detail the KM reference confirms plainly.
