| Reverse description | A richly detailed composite scene commemorating Robert Louis Stevenson occupies the full reverse field. In the upper left, a fully-rigged square-sailed galleon is depicted underway on the open sea, evoking the imagery of Treasure Island, with the legend TREASURE ISLAND and the date 1994 inscribed in stylized script in the upper right field alongside a cartographic outline of the Samoan islands labelled UPOLU and SAVAII. In the lower foreground, a bust portrait of Stevenson is shown three-quarter facing, holding a quill pen over an open book, referencing his literary career. The curved legend ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON flanks the left and lower periphery, with his birth and death years 1850 - 1894 inscribed along the right margin. |
