Aversbeschreibung	The field features a polished black background incorporating an artistic reference to the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang. A left-facing effigy of King Charles III occupies the central portion, rendered in relief with the monarch's name CHARLES III inscribed in the legend. The issuing country name SAMOA and its coat of arms appear in the field alongside the year of issue 2025 and the denomination 20 CENTS. Bilingual inscriptions in both Chinese characters (敦煌莫高窟) and English (DUNHUANG MOGAO GROTTOES) identify the cultural theme. The overall design integrates East Asian artistic motifs with standard Commonwealth portrait conventions.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse presents a high-relief depiction of a Flying Apsara — a celestial musician derived from the mural art of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes — shown in dynamic flight against a polished black field. The figure is adorned in elaborate traditional drapery with long flowing scarves billowing in graceful curves around her body, conveying movement and ethereal grace. She holds a lusheng, a traditional Chinese reed wind instrument, raised to her lips in a playing posture. Chinese characters 飞天乐伎笙 are inscribed to the upper left of the field, identifying the subject. The bilingual English legend FLYING APSARAS / PLAYING THE LUSHENG appears along the lower left margin.
