Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1000 Kip coin from Laos is that it features a unique design that showcases the country's cultural heritage. The obverse side of the coin depicts the national emblem of Laos, which includes a golden hammer and sickle, surrounded by rice stalks and a revolutionary banner. The reverse side features a winter sports scene, specifically a skier, which is a nod to the Winter Olympics Games held in Salt Lake City in 2002. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists and sports enthusiasts alike.
