Obverse description Central field features a highly detailed rendering of the America's Cup trophy — an ornate ewer with scrolled handle, decorated body, and tiered pedestal base — depicted in high relief against a polished dark field. The letters spelling 'AMERICA'S CUP' are arranged radially in the inner field flanking the trophy. The outer legend reads 'AMERICAN SAMOA · 17 APRIL 1900' along the upper arc and 'SAMOA MUAMUA LE ATUA' along the lower arc, all in raised Latin capitals. The date '1988' appears in the lower right field. The design combines commemorative and heraldic elements consistent with proof-style non-circulating coinage.
