| Reverse description | A finely engraved intaglio vignette occupies the central field, rendering a tranquil Samoan coastal scene with a traditional thatched fale in the foreground, coconut palms lining the shoreline, a small outrigger canoe on calm waters, and lush tropical vegetation to the right. Two circular guilloche medallions bearing the '$2' numeral flank the upper corners, with the issuer name in the lower centre. The entire design is printed in a single deep blue ink. |
