This piece belongs to a series of legal tender coins issued by Samoa featuring iconic global city imagery — a format the country has used commercially since the 2010s, primarily targeting the collector and novelty market rather than domestic circulation. The heavy copper fabric at 35 g places it firmly in the souvenir medallion category dressed as coinage.
