½ Dollar - Charles III Viking 1

Beschrijving voorzijde	Uncrowned right-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the upper central field, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The initials 'DT' appear beneath the truncation, attributing the portrait to engraver Dominique Taylor. The Samoan coat of arms is depicted centrally in the lower field. The circumferential legend reads 'HALF DOLLAR · 2023 · CHARLES III' around the upper arc, with '· SAMOA ·' along the lower arc, separated by dot stops.

Aanvullende informatie	Samoa has issued commemorative pieces under its own authority since gaining full independence in 1962, though the island nation's numismatic program expanded aggressively in the 2000s through partnerships with European marketing firms targeting the collector market rather than circulation. This piece, issued in the first full year of Charles III's reign following Elizabeth II's death in September 2022, belongs to that commercial tradition entirely — a souvenir product with a Pacific issuer of convenience. Silver-plated iron, not sterling or fine silver coin metal, corrodes at plating seams over time. Storage matters more than it would for a solid silver piece.
