10 Tala 10 Commandments - 7th Commandment

Part of a ten-coin series issued by Samoa in 2010, each piece assigned to one of the Commandments. The seventh — prohibiting adultery — sits in a series that was produced for the collector market rather than circulation, a pattern Samoa has pursued aggressively since the 1970s through licensing arrangements with overseas minting houses. The gold-plated outer ring is a production choice driven by marketability, not ecclesiastical significance.
