Interesting fact
The Panthera Tigris 500 Kip coin from Laos features an image of a tiger on its obverse side, which is a rare and endangered species in Laos. In fact, the Indochinese tiger, which is the subspecies found in Laos, is considered to be functionally extinct in the wild. This coin serves as a reminder of the importance of conservation efforts to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats.
