| Additional information |
Tanumafili II held the position of O le Ao o le Malo — head of state of Samoa — from independence in 1962 until his death in 2007, making him one of the longest-serving heads of state in the Pacific. The 1992 jubilee issue marked thirty years of that tenure. He was also, late in life, a convert to the Bahá'í Faith, becoming the first reigning head of state to formally adopt it — a fact entirely unrelated to this coin but difficult to omit when the man is this unusual.
