2 Tala Alpha and Omega

Samoa has issued a substantial number of themed commemorative silver rounds under the 2 Tala denomination, most produced by the Bavarian State Mint or New Zealand Mint on contract rather than struck domestically. The "Alpha and Omega" designation places this within a series of religiously themed issues marketed primarily to collector and gift markets in the Pacific and Europe.

Little distinguishes the monetary policy circumstances of this issue — it was not struck for circulation and carries no meaningful economic history tied to Samoa itself.
