| Additional information |
Issued to mark the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer in July 1981, this piece is one of dozens of gold commemoratives produced by Pacific and Caribbean nations that year — many of which had no meaningful economic or political connection to the British royal family. Samoa was a Commonwealth realm at the time under Head of State Malietoa Tanumafili II, which at least provides a nominal constitutional link.
The 31.103g weight puts this squarely in the one-troy-ounce category, a deliberate choice for the bullion-adjacent commemorative market of the early 1980s.
