A right-facing portrait bust of the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen occupies the central field, depicted wearing his characteristic tall top hat and cravat, rendered in a style reminiscent of 19th-century portraiture. A fine beaded border encircles the inner field. The legend H. C. ANDERSEN arcs along the upper periphery in raised letters, while the dates 1805 - 1875, denoting the author's birth and death years, are inscribed along the lower portion of the field. |

Issued as part of a wave of small-format gold commemoratives that flooded the Pacific island mint-program market in the late 2000s, this piece has no particular connection to Samoa — Andersen was Danish, died in 1875, and the Central Bank of Samoa's involvement is purely a licensing arrangement. Such programs were common vehicles for bullion dealers and coin marketers seeking sovereign backing for product lines aimed at collector rather than circulatory demand.
