| Reverse description | The central vignette portrays a traditional Samoan fale (thatched round house) on a coastal foreshore, with palm trees, tropical vegetation, and a calm lagoon receding to a distant shoreline; a canoe is visible on the water in the middle distance. Guilloche medallions bearing the numeral denomination anchor the upper left and right corners, and the bank name and bilingual denomination appear along the lower margin in intaglio lettering against a monochrome blue-grey ground. |
