| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Western Samoa occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield bearing a coconut palm and the Southern Cross constellation, surmounted by a Latin cross and flanked by two olive branches tied at the base. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto FAAVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA in raised lettering. The country name SAMOA I SISIFO arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination $1 appears in the lower field beneath the arms. |

| Reverse description | Two boxers in dynamic mid-bout pose dominate the central field, depicted in high relief with fine anatomical detail; the left figure delivers a straight jab toward the right figure who counters in a defensive stance. A horizontal baseline grounds the composition, with the date 1974 inscribed in the exergue alongside the engraver's initials J.B. The legend COMMONWEALTH arcs along the upper periphery and GAMES along the lower, commemorating the 1974 British Commonwealth Games held in Christchurch, New Zealand. |
