| Obverse description | The national arms of the Lao People's Democratic Republic occupies the central field, featuring a stylized globe overlaid with a road and rice paddies, flanked by sheaves of rice on the left and a forest scene on the right, with electricity pylons in the middle ground. Above the arms, a hammer and sickle surmounted by a five-pointed star are prominently displayed. A decorative ribbon at the base bears an inscription in Lao script. The circular legend 'THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC' arcs around the upper periphery in Latin script, with the denomination '10 KIP' positioned in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Reverse description | A highly detailed rendering of a five-masted clipper ship under full sail occupies the central field, depicted underway on a stylized ocean with waves rendered in low relief across the lower portion of the coin. The vessel's five masts carry a full spread of square and fore-and-aft sails, with rigging rendered in fine detail, evoking the great German sailing barque Prussia. The curved legend 'FIVE MAST CLIPPER' arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin serif lettering. The date '1988' appears in the exergue area below the ship, above the wave motif. |
