| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red and blue, dominated by a large central guilloche medallion in blue bearing a bold '£1' cipher overlaid with the text 'TREASURY NOTE'. The inscription 'TERRITORY OF WESTERN SAMOA' curves around the upper and lower arcs of the central roundel, while symmetrical 'POUND' cartouches in red appear at the left and right. The overall design relies on fine-line lathe-work patterns filling the entire field with no pictorial vignette. |
