| Reverse description | A three-dimensional gold-plated sculptural calla lily (Zantedeschia) applied in high relief to the centre of the coin, its trumpet-shaped spathe and spadix rendered in rich gilded detail. The silver field is engraved with a intricate background of calla lily blooms and foliage in lower relief. The cursive inscription 'Calla' appears to the lower left of the central motif, accompanied by a circular mintmark device to the lower right. The arc legend 'GOLDEN FLOWER COLLECTION' runs along the upper periphery, with '1 OZ .999 FINE SILVER' inscribed within the upper field, and the date '2024' at the bottom. |

| Additional information |
Samoa's numismatic program has, since the early 2010s, operated largely as a licensing vehicle for the New Zealand-based New Vision Mint and various European bullion distributors — the Pacific island nation providing issuing authority while retaining little substantive involvement in design or distribution. The calla lily series falls squarely within that commercial framework, produced for the collector bullion market rather than any domestic monetary purpose.
