| Obverse description | To the left, a dog sled team with a musher in polar attire is depicted in dynamic motion across an icy landscape with mountains in the background. Occupying the right half of the field is a large, detailed close-up portrait of a sled dog's head facing left with mouth open, rendered in high relief. The legend TRANS-ANTARCTICA arcs across the upper field, with EXPEDITION 1989~1990 inscribed below it in two lines. The legend WESTERN SAMOA curves along the lower rim. A mintmaster's mark appears to the lower right of the dog's portrait. |
