| Additional information |
Samoa has no historical connection to the Maya civilization — this is a bullion-adjacent commemorative issued under the Pacific island nation's licensing arrangements, a common practice where sovereign mint rights are leased to private distributors seeking a legal tender vehicle for themed collector pieces. The Mayan Long Count calendar, which anchored the now-debunked 2012 apocalypse narrative, continues to drive commercial coin programs a decade later.
