Samoa's collector coin program has leaned heavily on novelty formats since the mid-2010s, and this "Promotion" issue sits in that category — small-format silver pieces produced in limited runs for the international numismatic market rather than domestic circulation. The issuing authority is the Central Bank of Samoa, though production was almost certainly contracted to a European private mint, as is standard for Pacific island collector issues of this type.
Elizabeth II's effigy appears on Samoan coinage by virtue of the country's Commonwealth membership, though Samoa is a republic — one of the few republics that retained Commonwealth ties after independence in 1962.
