| Additional information |
Samoa has licensed its coinage authority extensively since the 2000s to produce collectibles with no domestic circulation intent — this Harry Potter issue is squarely in that category. The "Half Dollar" denomination is nominal at best, a legal fiction that gives the piece treaty-coin status without any pretense of monetary function.
Silver-plated copper-nickel rather than solid silver keeps production costs low enough for mass collectible runs.
