| Additional information |
Samoa has issued licensed pop-culture collector pieces under various arrangements with the New Zealand Mint, which produces these on their behalf. This Sirius Black release is part of a broader Harry Potter series targeting the collector novelty market rather than any monetary circulation — Samoa's legal tender framework allows foreign mints to place its name on such issues, a common arrangement among small Pacific island nations seeking seigniorage from the global commemorative trade.
