| Additional information |
Samoa issued this coin ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa — the first World Cup held on the African continent, awarded to South Africa by FIFA in 2004 after a bidding process that beat out Morocco, Egypt, Libya, Nigeria, and Tunisia. Samoa has never qualified for a World Cup, making the issue purely commercial rather than celebratory.
