| Beschrijving keerzijde | A crosshair-style cartographic grid occupies the upper portion of the field, with a detailed relief map of the Samoan island chain positioned at the coordinates 172°W and 14°S. Two distinct species of tropical flowering plants, rendered in naturalistic style, fill the lower portion of the field. The legend 'PROTECT OUR WORLD' arcs boldly across the upper field, with the coordinates '172'W' and '14'S' flanking the map. The date '1994' appears in the exergue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Part of the WWF-licensed "Protect Our World" series issued by multiple Pacific and island nations through the early 1990s, these coins were produced in large coordinated runs by the same handful of contracted mints and distributed almost entirely through the collector market. Samoa issued several denominations in the series, with the 10 Tala becoming the primary silver vehicle. Actual circulation was essentially nil — these were shrink-wrapped into presentation folders from the outset.
KM#103 is one of the more straightforward entries in Samoan numismatics. The WWF licensing arrangement required royalty payments on each coin sold, an unusual commercial constraint for a sovereign mint issue.
