King Savang Vatthana
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 80,000 Kip - Savang Vatthana (Coronation) 1971 coin from Laos is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of King Savang Vatthana, who ruled Laos from 1954 until the communist takeover in 1975. The coin's design features an image of the king in ceremonial attire, surrounded by intricate patterns and symbols that reflect Laotian culture and traditions. Despite its value and rarity, the coin is not widely recognized or sought after by collectors, making it a unique and underappreciated piece of numismatic history.
