| Reverse description | Central design features a detailed depiction of a coconut husk lying horizontally in the field, with a sprouting coconut palm shoot emerging from it, symbolising growth and the agricultural heritage of Samoa. The denomination 1 SENE is inscribed above the central motif in bold upright lettering. The engraver's initials JB appear discretely at the lower right of the design, referencing James Berry. The reverse field is polished to a mirror finish consistent with proof production standards. |
