| Additional information |
Tian Ma — the "heavenly horse" of Chinese mythology — has no particular numismatic history in Samoan coinage. This is a modern bullion-adjacent collector piece issued under Samoa's longstanding practice of licensing its sovereign mint authority to third-party distributors, primarily for the Asian gift and commemorative market. The denomination is nominal; no one spends these.
