| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a deeply concave field designed to evoke the interior of an owl's nest, with finely detailed twigs and nesting material rendered in high relief across the entire border, creating a naturalistic three-dimensional effect. At the center, a large egg-shaped raised dome dominates the composition, upon which the arms of Samoa are engraved, depicting a shield with the Southern Cross constellation and a coconut palm, surmounted by a cross, and supported by olive branches, with the national motto 'FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA' inscribed on a scroll beneath. The legend 'SAMOA' and the date '2024' appear in the upper field above the central device, while the denomination '25 Cents' is inscribed in the lower field. The entire piece is struck with an antique finish that accentuates the rich sculptural depth of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samoa's wildlife coin program has produced issues tied to endemic Pacific species, but the Eurasian Eagle-owl has no native range anywhere near the archipelago — it's a Holarctic bird found across Europe and Asia. These cross-regional nature series are typically driven by international coin marketing firms that license designs to smaller issuing authorities, with the Central Bank lending its name and legal tender status to a product aimed squarely at thematic collectors rather than circulation.
