| Reverse description | An allegorical depiction of Hera, queen of the Olympian gods and Greek goddess of marriage, women, and family, rendered in a classical figurative style. The goddess is shown in full figure, dressed in flowing robes, engaged in a domestic scene with a household accessory, symbolizing her patronage of home and family. The design reflects a neoclassical artistic treatment consistent with the Gods of Olympus commemorative series. |

| Additional information |
Part of the long-running "Hera" bullion series issued through the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Samoa, this miniature gold piece belongs to a category of sub-gram fractional coins that proliferated through the 2010s as mints sought accessible entry points for precious metal buyers priced out of standard bullion. At 14-karat fineness rather than the .999 gold typical of investment bullion, the actual gold content sits just above 0.29 grams — a detail that matters when evaluating any premium-over-spot calculation for this type.
