| Reverse description | Two stylised carp, traditional Chinese symbols of fortune and prosperity, are depicted in dynamic postures: one arching above the central round perforation and one below, creating a symmetrical composition around the void. The large Chinese character '福' (Fortune) dominates the background field, rendered in an intricate multi-script calligraphic pattern incorporating various historical renderings of the character. The fineness, weight, and silver purity inscriptions appear in the lower field. |

| Additional information |
Part of a broader Pacific island series tapping the collectibles market, this Samoan issue is struck under license rather than representing any domestic monetary need — Samoa's actual circulation coinage is the tālā, and pieces like this are produced specifically for the numismatic trade by external minting operations. The legal tender denomination is nominal at best.
