| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the national coat of arms of Samoa at centre, depicting a shield charged with the Southern Cross constellation of five stars above stylised ocean waves and a coconut palm, set upon a globe and encircled by a wreath of olive branches. A Latin cross surmounts the shield above. The national motto FA'AVAEI LE ATUA SAMOA appears on a scroll at the base of the arms, translating as 'God be the Foundation of Samoa'. The legend SAMOA arcs along the upper field, and the denomination $1 is inscribed in the lower field. |

Samoa's commemorative output in the late 2000s leaned heavily on novelty themes marketed toward thematic collectors rather than numismatists, and this piece fits squarely in that category. Silver-plated copper-nickel was the workhorse composition for budget-tier Pacific island issues of the period — low production cost, high catalog presence.
