| Reverse description | The clover-shaped reverse is fully colored in vivid naturalistic tones, depicting a four-leaf clover with rich green leaves rendered in fine detail. A realistic polychrome ladybug, with a red elytra bearing black spots, is centered prominently atop the clover. The inscription 'GOOD LUCK' is lettered across the lower two leaves of the clover in white relief, integrating the good-luck symbolism of both the clover and the ladybug motifs. |

| Additional information |
Laos has issued a steady stream of silver wildlife pieces through third-party minting arrangements, most produced in facilities in Europe and distributed almost entirely to the international collector market rather than circulating domestically. The 50,000 Kip face value is nominal — a bureaucratic formality that technically makes it legal tender while bearing no relationship to any real purchasing context in the Lao economy.
KM#195 sits in a long catalog of Lao PDR issues where the Bank functions essentially as a licensing authority. The .925 silver content at this weight places it squarely in the standard 1/2 oz-equivalent range favored by wholesale distributors of themed numismatic pieces in the 2010s.
