| Beschrijving keerzijde | Large acorn depicted in high relief, shown in a three-quarter frontal view with a finely striated cupule (cap) surmounting the rounded body of the fruit. The acorn is rendered with careful attention to naturalistic detail, occupying the majority of the coin's field. Traces of the retrograde legend ΛAΣ are visible to the left of the device in the field. The reverse design is set within an incuse square, consistent with the archaic coinage tradition of Magna Graecia during the early fifth century BC. |

Laos was a Sybarite foundation on the Tyrrhenian coast of Lucania, and its coinage survives in very small numbers — a direct reflection of the city's limited political reach after Sybaris itself was destroyed by Croton in 510 BC. The refugee population that established and sustained Laos never commanded the resources of its parent city, and the mint output was correspondingly modest across all denominations.
The incuse technique linking this issue to the broader Achaean colonial tradition in Magna Graecia was already falling out of use among neighboring mints by the time these pieces were struck.
