| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a dynamic composition commemorating 175 years of German railways, contrasting historical and modern rail technology. In the centre, a streamlined ICE high-speed train is depicted in relief, overlapping with a detailed engraving of a 19th-century steam locomotive. Historic urban architecture appears in the upper background, while contemporary buildings occupy the lower field. A vertical panel along the left margin displays various railway signage and control symbols. The curved legend 175 YEARS OF GERMAN RAILWAYS runs along the right periphery, with the date 2010 inscribed in the lower exergue. |

Samoa's commemorative program in the late 2000s and early 2010s leaned heavily on transportation themes with broad collector appeal, and this piece targeting German railway history fits that pattern precisely. The Deutsche Bahn and its predecessors built one of the most technically ambitious rail networks of the 19th and 20th centuries — by 1914, Germany operated over 60,000 kilometers of track, more than any other European nation.
KM#217 is a bullion-adjacent commemorative with no domestic circulation history.
