Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 50 Kip coin from Laos is that it features an image of the country's former leader, Kaysone Phomvihane, on its obverse side. Kaysone Phomvihane was a prominent figure in Laotian politics and served as the country's President from 1991 until his death in 2008. The coin was minted in 1985 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the People's Democratic Republic of Laos, which was established in 1975 after the Laotian Civil War. The coin's design and the inclusion of Kaysone Phomvihane's image reflect the country's political history and the significance of its leadership during that time.
