Interesting fact

The ½ Lat (½ Tamlung) coin from the Kingdom of Lan Xang (Laos) made of Silver weighing 37.2 g is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during the 14th to 16th centuries, and its design features a unique blend of Lao and Thai styles, reflecting the cultural exchange and influence between the two regions during that time.
