| Additional information |
Niuafo'ou is a Tongan island, not Samoan — its appearance on a Samoan-issued coin reflects the broader Pacific novelty collector market, where small island names lend geographic romance to pieces that have no circulation function whatsoever. "Steel (Paper colorized)" in the composition field means this is a steel core with a paper inlay, a production method used almost exclusively for the souvenir and thematic collector trade.
