Samoa's licensing arrangements with the Mdm Tussauds group and various estate holders have made it one of the more prolific issuers of celebrity commemoratives in the modern bullion market — a role enabled by its membership in the Pacific Islands Forum and its long-standing relationship with New Zealand minting infrastructure. This kilo-weight format was increasingly adopted after 2015 by smaller sovereign issuers seeking to attract collector-investors who treat large-format silver as a hybrid asset rather than a circulating or commemorative piece in any traditional sense.
The Hepburn estate has been notably selective in licensing approvals, which kept her image off commemorative coinage for decades longer than peers like Monroe or Presley.
