Obverse description The national coat of arms of Samoa occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield displaying the Southern Cross constellation of five stars in the lower half and a stylised ocean wave with a coconut palm in the upper half, surmounted by a Christian cross above the shield. The arms are flanked by two olive branches forming a wreath, and a scroll at the base bears the national motto in the exergue. The legend SAMOA arcs across the upper field, while the denomination $10 appears below the arms.
