Stretching along the rugged Annamite Range and the fertile Mekong River valley as the only landlocked nation in Southeast Asia, Laos is governed from its riverside capital of Vientiane. Historically famed for the elongated silver tiger-tongue (Lat) bar money of the Kingdom of Lan Xang, Laos introduced the Lao kip (LAK)—subdivided into 100 at—in 1952, striking holed aluminium coins with the three-headed elephant Erawan and Pha That Luang stupa alongside royal silver commemoratives.
