Obverse description The obverse presents a vignette of one of Samoa's iconic white-sand beaches, rendered in vivid tropical colours against a turquoise sea, underscoring tourism as the nation's principal economic driver. Inscriptions in both Samoan and English identify the issuing authority and the denomination, arranged across the upper and lower margins. The polymer substrate incorporates a clear window as part of the SAFEGUARD™ security architecture.

Reverse description The reverse carries a central vignette of Villa Vailima, the historic residence and now museum of the celebrated Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson, locally honoured by the title Tusitala (Teller of Tales). The National Coat of Arms of Samoa is positioned in proximity to the main vignette, providing an emblem of state authority. Bilingual denomination panels and the issuing bank's name in Samoan and English complete the design.
