| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of a broader series of miniature gold issues produced for the Pacific collector market, this piece commemorates Karl Friedrich Hieronymus von Münchhausen, the 18th-century German baron whose name became synonymous with extravagant fabrication. The historical Münchhausen was a real Hanoverian officer who served in Russian campaigns against the Ottomans; the fictional exaggerations attributed to him were first published without his consent by Rudolf Erich Raspe in 1785.
Samoa's use of such themes reflects a deliberate licensing strategy common among small Pacific issuers working with European minting houses — Pobjoy Mint and B.H. Mayer's have both facilitated similar programs.
