| Obverse description | The Samoan coat of arms occupies the central field of this irregularly shaped sculptural flan, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished background. The shield depicts a coconut palm, the Southern Cross constellation of five stars, and ocean waves, all encircled by olive branches and a globe, surmounted by a Christian cross above the legend SAMOA. A ribbon scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA. In the lower field, the inscriptions 1 oz Ag 999, the date 2022, and the denomination 5 DOLLARS are arranged in a curved arc. The ornate scalloped border of the coin is decorated with scrollwork and filigree motifs. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a three-dimensional sculptural depiction of the Niffler, the fictional creature from the Wizarding World franchise, portrayed in its characteristic mischievous pose atop a hoard of gold-colored holographic coins. The creature's distinctive platypus-like form is rendered with fine surface detail, its pouch overflowing with glittering treasures. The gold-colored holographic foil application imparts a vivid iridescent quality to the coin hoard in the field. The copyright legend appears in the lower portion of the reverse. |
