Here we have a 5 kip note from Laos and was issued in 1962. The front has a portrait of Sisavang Vong, The last king of the Luang Phrabang and then the new king of the kingdom of Laos. The reverse has a temple and an elephant with his mahout. In 1975 Sisavang's grandson hands over power to the Marxist Pathet Lao where the royal family is sent to re-education camps where they are said to have died.
