The reverse presents a dynamic, high-relief sculptural depiction of a Flying Apsara (飞天乐伎) inspired by the celebrated mural paintings of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, shown in graceful mid-flight while beating a waist drum suspended before her. The celestial figure is richly adorned with elaborate coiffure, floral ornaments, jewelled necklaces, and flowing ribbon-like scarves that billow dramatically around her body, conveying a strong sense of movement and spiritual energy. Her right hand is raised in an expressive gesture while her left hand holds the drum, with long trailing robes sweeping across the lower field of the coin. To the upper right, vertical Chinese characters '飞天乐伎 击鼓' are inscribed in raised lettering against the polished field. Along the lower left margin, the English legends 'Flying Apsaras' and 'Beating the Waist Drum' appear in two lines. |

Samoa's current circulating coinage series was redesigned following the country's controversial calendar switch in 2011, when Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi moved the nation across the International Date Line to align trade with Australia and New Zealand — skipping December 29th and 30th entirely. The heavy copper-nickel weight of this issue places it firmly in the territory of circulation coinage designed for durability in a humid Pacific island environment, where coin turnover through local markets and remittance economies runs high.
