200 Kip

The 200 Kip denomination sits in an awkward middle position within Lao emission history — large enough to be significant in daily commerce but not the flagship note collectors chase. Laos issued multiple distinct 200 Kip types across the Pathet Lao consolidation period and the early years of the Lao PDR, and without a Pick number or date, distinguishing between them requires close attention to printer credits and security thread placement.

Cotton substrate is consistent across virtually all PDR-era notes; it tells you little on its own.
