| Obverse description | The Samoan coat of arms is depicted centrally, with the date 2025 inscribed above and the denomination '2 Dollars' below. In the background, one of the iconic corner watchtowers of the Beijing Imperial Palace (Forbidden City) is rendered in fine relief, serving as the silhouette that defines the overall shape of the flan. The national motto 'FAʻAVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA' appears as a legend encircling the design, and the issuer name 'SAMOA' is prominently positioned in the upper field. |

Part of a broader Pacific island commemorative program exploiting Samoa's licensing agreements with foreign mints — in this case almost certainly produced by a European or Chinese contract facility with no meaningful connection to Beijing. Samoa has issued coins of this type prolifically since the early 2000s, with the actual mintage figures rarely disclosed and secondary market premiums driven almost entirely by collector theme demand rather than numismatic scarcity.
