| Obverse description | Left-facing uncrowned effigy of King Charles III occupies the upper-centre of the field, rendered in high relief with fine hair detail and a draped collar. The NASA meatball logotype appears to the lower left of the portrait, and the Samoan coat of arms is depicted centrally below the bust. The circular legend reads 'HALF DOLLAR' to the left, '2023' at the top, and 'CHARLES III' to the right, with 'SAMOA' inscribed along the lower rim, all in raised Latin lettering against a mirror-polished field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a vivid full-colour depiction of the NASA Pioneer 1 spacecraft in orbit above Earth, its disc-shaped antenna and extending booms rendered in fine relief against a deep black starfield. The curved blue-and-white arc of Earth's atmosphere sweeps across the lower field, with the Moon visible to the right. The NASA meatball insignia appears in colour at the left, while the bold legend 'PIONEER 1' arcs across the upper field and the launch year '1958' is prominently inscribed below it in large raised numerals. The word 'NASA' appears beneath the agency's logo. |
