| Obverse description | Set within a circular inset in the upper left of the butterfly wing-shaped flan, the right-facing effigy of Queen Elizabeth II appears in high relief against a dark field, surrounded by the legend ELIZABETH II above and SAMOA to the right. The denomination 20 Cents is inscribed below the portrait within the inset. The broader field of the flan features an elaborate holographic honeycomb lattice background overlaid with dynamic swirling line motifs, and a boldly rendered high-relief frontal dragon head occupies the central lower portion of the coin. The date 2023 appears in raised numerals at the lower right of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this butterfly wing-shaped coin displays a large, stylized frontal dragon head in high relief at centre, rendered in a distinctly East Asian artistic tradition with expressive eyes set with black crystal inserts, flaming mane, and open maw with curling whiskers. The holographic honeycomb background field shimmers across the entire surface, accented by sweeping engraved swirl lines evoking movement and energy. The Chinese character 龙 (dragon) appears in raised relief within a defined panel at the upper right of the field. The word DRAGON is inscribed in raised Latin letters along the lower portion of the field. |
