| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Western Samoa occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield bearing a coconut palm in the upper half and the Southern Cross constellation of five stars in the lower half, all superimposed on a globe and surmounted by a Christian cross. The shield is flanked by two olive branches and supported by a scroll bearing the national motto 'FA AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA' in the exergue. The legend 'SAMOA I SISIFO' arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination '$10' appears in the lower field. |

A second child is shown crouching beside the canoe in the lower left. The circular legend 'THE SAVE THE CHILDREN FUND' arcs around the upper and lateral periphery, with the date '1990' inscribed along the lower rim between two dots. |
