| Additional information |
Samoa's commemorative issues are struck under licensing arrangements with private minting houses — most commonly the Mayer Mint in Germany or B.H. Mayer — and distributed through international coin marketing channels rather than through domestic circulation. The "Feng" designation places this within a broader zodiac or mythological series, a product category that has dominated Pacific island issuer programs since the early 2000s when Samoa, Niue, and Tuvalu began aggressively monetizing their sovereign minting rights.
Silver-plated copper with partial gilding is a production format that emerged as spot silver prices climbed post-2010, allowing face-value denominations to remain nominal while retail premiums stayed high.
