| Obverse description | The national arms of the Lao People's Democratic Republic are depicted centrally, featuring the That Luang stupa set before a landscape with the Mekong River, flanked by symmetrical sheaves of rice and a cogwheel at the base. A globe in the lower portion of the arms bears a grid pattern, and a ribbon scroll in Lao script runs across the cogwheel. The encircling legend reads 'THE LAO PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC' along the upper periphery, with the date '2005' inscribed in the exergue below the arms. |

| Additional information |
Laos issued a run of hologram-enhanced silver pieces in the mid-2000s aimed squarely at the Asian collector market, where rooster motifs carry strong associations with the lunar calendar cycle. The 2005 date places this coin in the Year of the Rooster — the specific cyclical alignment that drives the entire rationale for its existence.
Bank of the Lao PDR has no history of producing coins for domestic circulation at this denomination; the 15,000 kip face value is purely nominal.
