| Obverse description | A single large egg rests within a bird's nest, rendered in high relief. The surface of the egg bears an engraved depiction of the Samoan coat of arms, flanked by the country name and year of issue, with the denomination inscribed below. The composition evokes a sense of natural origin and continuity with the reverse subject matter. The legend is arranged in conformity with the egg's ovoid form within the field. |

| Additional information |
The Eurasian eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) has no native presence in Samoa, nor any particular cultural or ecological connection to the islands. This is straightforwardly a bullion-adjacent collector issue from the Samoa licensing program, which has routinely assigned face values to silver rounds using Samoan legal authority since the early 2010s — a jurisdiction chosen for flexibility, not relevance.
