| Reverse description | A full-length frontal figure of a female guardian angel, haloed and robed in flowing classical drapery, with large feathered wings spread behind her. The angel holds a heart-shaped object clasped in both hands before her chest, symbolising protection and love. The background is divided into contrasting dark and light radiating segments adorned with decorative stars and linear rays, creating a striking celestial atmosphere. The design fills the entire field to the inner border, with no additional lettering on the reverse. |

| Additional information |
The Guardian Angel series was issued by Samoa as part of a wave of privately marketed collector coins produced under government license — a arrangement common among Pacific island nations whose mint programs are driven almost entirely by the European novelty coin trade rather than domestic circulation demand. KM#398 places this squarely in that category.
