Interesting fact

The 10,000 Kip coin featuring the Red shankdress Apes from Laos is a unique and interesting coin due to its unusual design. The coin features a group of apes wearing red shankdress, which is a traditional Lao skirt, and is considered a symbol of Lao culture and tradition. The coin's design is a departure from the typical images featured on coins, making it a standout piece among collectors. Additionally, the coin's gold composition and limited mintage of 2001 pieces only, add to its rarity and exclusivity.
