| Additional information |
Samoa has operated a prolific novelty licensing program for decades, issuing legal tender coins under its authority for international collector markets rather than domestic circulation. This piece — gold-plated iron, not gold — is a licensed product tied to the Star Trek franchise, whose intellectual property has appeared on collectible coins from multiple Pacific island issuers since at least the 1990s. The iron core is worth noting: it makes these pieces magnetically detectable, a manufacturing shortcut that distinguishes them sharply from genuine bullion issues.
