| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national arms of Samoa occupy the central field, comprising a shield bearing a coconut palm above stylised waves and five stars representing 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 FAVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA. The legend SAMOA I SISIFO arcs along the upper periphery in Latin capitals, and the denomination $1 appears in the lower field below the arms. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samoa's participation in the 1996 Atlanta Games was modest — a handful of athletes across weightlifting and boxing — but the island nation issued several numismatic pieces tied to the event regardless. The .500 silver fineness places this squarely in the lower-cost commemorative bracket that proliferated through Pacific island mints in the 1990s, when dozens of small sovereignties struck Atlanta-themed coins primarily for the collector market rather than any circulation purpose.
Tanumafili II held the O le Ao o le Malo — head of state — from 1963 until his death in 2007, making his effigy one of the longer-running portrait series in Pacific commemorative issues.
