The 2005 Laos 1000 Kip Wat Phu gold coin celebrates one of Laos’s most important historic and religious monuments, the ancient temple complex of Vat Phou.

Vat Phou, located in southern Laos, forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape and remains an outstanding symbol of regional history, sacred architecture and archaeology. The obverse features the national emblem of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic with rice ears, stupa, landscape, road, cogwheel and ribbon, surrounded by a beaded border and the 1000 Kip denomination.
