| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing effigy of King Charles III, rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. The royal coat of arms of Samoa appears below the portrait as a small heraldic device. The circumferential legend reads '25 SENE' to the left, '2025' at the top, and 'CHARLES III' to the right, with 'SAMOA' along the lower arc, all separated by raised dot stops. The engraver's initials 'DT' appear discreetly to the right of the king's shoulder truncation. |

| Additional information |
Samoa's sene denominations have no meaningful circulation history in silver — this is unambiguously a bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under the framework Samoa has used since the early 2000s to license its name to foreign minting operations, primarily based in Germany and Australia. The underlying copper planchet with silver plating is a cost structure designed for the commemorative market, not the treasury.
