| Obverse description | The Samoan national coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield charged with the Southern Cross constellation and a coconut palm, set upon a globe and flanked by two olive branches. A Christian cross surmounts the shield. The country name SAMOA arcs along the upper legend, while the denomination $1 appears in the lower field below the shield. A scroll banner at the base of the arms bears the national motto FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA. |

She wears a Corinthian helmet adorned with a prominent crest and cheekpieces, with flowing hair visible beneath, and an ornate beaded necklace at her throat. The visor of the helmet is decorated with a frieze of horses in relief. The legend PALLAS ATHENE is inscribed in two arcing segments flanking the bust, with the date 2009 positioned at the lower left. A continuous inner border of raised beads frames the design. |
