| Additional information |
Samoa has operated a small but active commemorative bullion program for decades, frequently licensing pop-culture and mythological themes to private minting houses — this piece almost certainly produced by a European contractor rather than struck domestically. The nine-tailed fox (kitsune) carries no particular connection to Samoa or its monetary history; the issuing authority is effectively a legal vehicle for the numismatic collectibles market.
Elizabeth II died on 8 September 2022, making this a posthumous effigy issue — the first generation of Commonwealth and associated-nation coins to carry her portrait after death rather than by constitutional obligation.
