| Obverse description | The obverse presents a vignette of one of Samoa's iconic sandy beaches, with turquoise waters and palm-lined shoreline rendered in pastel tones, reflecting the nation's tourism-driven economy. Inscriptions in both Samoan and English appear across the face, including the bank title and denomination. A guilloche underprint in soft colours provides the background security pattern. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a vignette of Villa Vailima, the historic residence — now a museum — of Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, known locally as Tusitala (Teller of Tales), set within a landscaped tropical setting. The National Coat of Arms of Samoa is also present on this side. Denomination and bank name inscriptions in Samoan and English complete the design. |
