(The Kingdom of Laos)
ທະນາຄານແຫ່ງຊາດລາວ
(Banque Nationale Du Laos)
Currency - Kip (LAK)
This is the last series reportedly released in 1974 before the Communist Pathet Lao captured the country on 02.012.1975, thus ending the civil war which started in 1959. The fall of the Kingdom of Laos, also forced the abdication of King Savang Vatthana.
Whilst five notes are posted here, two of the notes, 10 and 1000 kip, were not officially issued for circulation. If you had bought these two notes back in the 1980s or 1990s, you would have paid a very high price for these notes. Today, you can get them at a very affordable price.
