Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 50,000 Kip (Mazu) 2005 gold coin from Laos is that it features an image of a mythical creature called the "Mazu" which is a legendary sea goddess in Chinese mythology, revered as the protector of fishermen and sailors. She is often depicted as a beautiful woman with a dragon's head and a fish's tail, and is said to have the power to control the oceans and protect those who venture out to sea. The coin's design is a unique blend of traditional Laotian art and mythology, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
