| 裏面の説明 | The reverse depicts two allegorical figures representing epoch-making historical events: in the upper field, a seated robed figure on a plinth, identifiable as a representation of the Buddha or a similar Eastern sage, rendered in fine relief; in the lower field, a striding semi-draped female figure — evoking the French republican allegory of Marianne as depicted in Delacroix's 'Liberty Leading the People' — advances to the right bearing a large flag in her left hand and a rifle with bayonet in her right. The legend 'EPOCH-MAKING EVENTS' curves along the outer border of the crescent-shaped flan. |

The "Epoch-Making Events" series from Pacific island nations in the late 1990s was a crowded genre — dozens of small issuers producing broadly similar commemorative programmes aimed squarely at the collector market ahead of the millennium. Samoa's entries were distributed largely through the Franklin Mint's international dealer network rather than through domestic circulation channels.
KM#138 is one of several issues in the set, each keyed to a different historical event. Without knowing which specific event this piece commemorates, little more can be responsibly stated about its subject matter.
