| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborate high-relief design inspired by traditional Chinese decorative art, depicting two mythical phoenix birds (fenghuang) in dynamic, swirling composition encircling the central square aperture. The male dragon-phoenix above and the female phoenix below are rendered with fine feather and scale detail, surrounded by stylised clouds, foliage, and auspicious motifs. Chinese characters conveying blessings and good fortune are interspersed throughout the field in a border-like arrangement, referencing classical Chinese numismatic and decorative traditions. The overall composition is deeply struck, creating strong contrasts of relief that emphasise the intricacy of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samoa's decimal coinage has undergone periodic redesigns tied closely to shifts in national identity following independence from New Zealand administration in 1962, but a 2023 issue at this size and weight sits well outside the country's conventional circulation specifications — suggesting a collector-targeted release rather than anything intended for everyday use.
