The national coat of arms of Samoa is depicted centrally, featuring a quartered shield bearing a coconut palm and the Southern Cross constellation of five stars, surmounted by a cross and encircled by two olive branches. The country name SAMOA arcs along the upper legend, while the denomination $5 appears in the lower field. A scroll bearing the national motto FA`AVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA is rendered below the shield in relief. |

A dynamic depiction of a helmeted white-water kayaker in the foreground, paddle raised mid-stroke amid dramatically rendered churning rapids and spray. In the background, a scenic landscape features a palm tree to the left and rolling hills, with a rowing boat visible on calm water to the right. The arced legend OLYMPIC GAMES 2012 occupies the upper field, divided across left and right, while the issue year 2009 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |

Samoa's Olympic commemorative program has long relied on licensed issue agreements with foreign minting houses, and this 2009-dated piece — struck three years ahead of the London Games — reflects the extended lead times common to Pacific island commemorative series distributed through international coin marketing channels. The early dating is not an error.
