| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed commemorative scene set aboard the deck of an 18th-century sailing vessel, depicting two figures: a standing figure in period costume representing Dutch explorer Jakob Roggeveen at the ship's rail, and a second figure leaning forward while sighting through a telescope toward land visible in the background. The upper field carries the arced legend JAKOB ROGGEVEEN and the explorer's birth and death dates 1659-1729. In the lower exergue, a map of the Samoan island group is depicted alongside the inscriptions WESTERN SAMOA and the date 1994. |
