| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Samoa is depicted centrally, featuring a shield quartered with a coconut palm and the Southern Cross constellation of five stars, surmounted by a radiant cross, and flanked by two olive branches. A ribbon scroll below the shield bears the national motto in Latin script. The legend 'SAMOA 2021' arcs above the arms, and the denomination '2 TALA' appears in the lower field. The entire design is surrounded by a decorative border of alternating triangular motifs in the Samoan traditional style. |

| Additional information |
Samoa has long been used by the Perth Mint and other contract minters as a licensing issuer for bullion and collector rounds with no genuine Samoan monetary or policy origin. This seahorse piece belongs squarely to that category — a privately conceived design issued under Samoan authority purely for the international collector market, with no domestic circulation intended or achieved.
