| Additional information |
Samoa has issued collectible bullion-adjacent pieces under licensing arrangements that allow for themed numismatic series well outside the scope of its domestic economy — the island nation's GDP would not sustain a domestic gold coinage program, so these pieces exist entirely for the international collector market. The legal tender face value is nominal to the point of irrelevance.
The Aquarius series pairing with Hera draws on Greek mythological associations with water and air, though the astrological connection between the two is a modern marketing conceit rather than anything rooted in classical tradition.
