| Reverse description | Full-colour applied design depicting a scene honouring transport workers. In the lower foreground, a red bus is shown in right profile with a driver visible through the windscreen. Behind it, a large articulated truck with a white trailer dominates the left and centre of the field, with a passenger aircraft visible in the background to the right. The polychrome design employs stylised, graphic imagery rendered across the entire inner field. The two-line legend TRANSPORT WORKERS appears in raised relief lettering across the upper portion of the design. |

Samoa's transport worker commemorative series occupies an odd corner of the modern collector market — low-denomination face values on silver-plated iron blanks, issued in quantity for the novelty trade rather than domestic circulation. These pieces are produced under licensing arrangements common among Pacific island sovereigns who monetize their issuing rights through overseas minting houses, a practice Samoa has employed extensively since the 1970s.
