Issued to mark the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting hosted by Samoa — the first CHOGM held in the Pacific Islands. That alone made it a politically significant event for the region, and the Central Bank moved quickly to commemorate it with a dedicated polymer issue. De La Rue's polymer substrate here carries a window element integrated into the design, a feature that has become increasingly common in their commemorative output since Innovia's Guardian substrate technology was absorbed into broader production pipelines.
Commemorative Tālā issues from Samoa are produced in limited quantities and rarely see active ATM circulation.
