In the background, a cartographic outline of the two principal islands of Western Samoa — Savai'i and Upolu — is shown. The commemorative legend ARC around the design identifies the occasion and protagonist, with the date of the historic voyage inscribed in the lower field. |

This coin commemorates the 1972 anniversary of European contact with Samoa, traditionally attributed to the Dutch navigator Jacob Roggeveen, who encountered the islands in 1722. Roggeveen was the same explorer who had located Easter Island earlier that same voyage — a detail that tends to overshadow his Samoan landfall in most historical accounts.
Tanumafili II, whose name appears on the issue, would go on to become the world's longest-serving head of state before his death in 2007, and the first Bahá'í head of state of any nation.
