| Obverse description | The National Coat of Arms of Western Samoa is centred within a circular guilloche vignette to the left of centre, enclosed by decorative side panels incorporating traditional Samoan motifs, with denomination numerals at each corner. To the right, an intaglio-engraved coastal vignette shows a fishing vessel on calm waters before a mountainous island silhouette. A facsimile signature of the Senior Manager appears below the central vignette, with bilingual Samoan and English inscriptions running across the upper and central fields. |
