| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Samoa occupies the central field, featuring a quartered shield displaying the Southern Cross constellation of five stars in the lower half and a coconut palm above a stylised ocean wave in the upper half, all set against a globe flanked by two olive branches. A Christian cross surmounts the shield. The motto legend FA'AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA is inscribed on a ribbon scroll below the arms. The country name SAMOA appears as the upper legend along the rim, and the denomination $5 is placed in the exergue. |

Samoa's 2014 bullion miniature program was part of a broader Pacific-region trend toward fractional gold issues aimed at collectors priced out of standard one-ounce formats. At 0.5 grams, these pieces were struck in quantity sufficient to meet modest collector demand but never intended for circulation — the face value being largely ceremonial under Samoan monetary law.
