| Additional information |
Part of the broader "Cyborg" series issued through the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Samoa, this coin belongs to a wave of licensed pop-culture bullion that Pacific island nations have used since the 2000s to generate seigniorage revenue from collector markets with no meaningful domestic circulation. Samoa's role is essentially fiduciary — the legal tender status is nominal, the audience entirely foreign.
KM#618 confirms catalog recognition, though NGC and PCGS population data for this series remains thin given its recency.
