The Looney Tunes bulls-eye target logo appears prominently in the background behind the figure. The character's name BUGS BUNNY is inscribed in the field, accompanied by the fineness notation 1 OZ AG .999 and the Warner Bros. copyright legend TM & © WBEI (s22) along the periphery. |

| Additional information |
Samoa has issued licensed Warner Bros. character coins with some regularity, but this particular release is notable for arriving during a period when the secondary market for novelty silver rounds was unusually active — post-pandemic collector demand briefly made issues like this far more liquid than their limited-mintage predecessors from the early 2010s. The Central Bank of Samoa functions here essentially as a licensing vehicle; the coins are legal tender in name, but no one has ever spent one.
