| Reverse description | A dynamically rendered mermaid figure, depicted in three-quarter rear view with flowing hair billowing dramatically across the upper field, extends her right arm upward to present a luminous pearl held aloft in her open palm. Her scaled fish tail curves through the lower right field, while her torso is adorned with shell ornaments. The richly detailed background features stylized ocean waves, sea anemones, and aquatic flora rendered in high relief, creating a deeply sculptural Art Nouveau-inspired composition that fills the entire coin face to its reeded border. |

| Additional information |
Samoa has issued collectible silver rounds under the "Mermaid & Pearl" branding as part of a broader Pacific-themed bullion and numismatic program that gained traction in the 2020s, largely distributed through European and Australian wholesale dealers rather than through domestic circulation. The 2 Tala denomination is nominal — no one is spending these at face value.
