Rice planting, a water buffalo and power lines fill the front; the Nam Ngum hydroelectric dam takes over the reverse. The red note frames agriculture and electrification as two sides of national development.
Design & Symbolism
Obverse
Farmers plant rice in a paddy beside a water buffalo, while a stupa and electrical transmission towers extend the scene beyond the fields. The Lao coat of arms anchors the composition within the wider national setting. Tones of red unify the pictorial subject, lettering and repeated indicators of value.
Reverse
The Nam Ngum hydroelectric dam dominates the reverse, presenting large-scale power infrastructure as the principal subject. Lao inscriptions frame the structure in a clean, direct composition. A predominantly red treatment gives the imagery and official lettering a consistent visual register.
Collector’s Insight
For collectors, this 50-kip issue shows how the 1979 series linked traditional rice cultivation with state-led electrification. The Nam Ngum dam makes the note a concise record of the development narrative that followed the currency reform.
