| Obverse description | The Samoan coat of arms is displayed prominently at the centre of the triangular flan, with the date above and the denomination '20 Cents' below in the legend. The field features a background image of the mirrored glass facade of the Louvre Pyramid rendered in a stylised, reflective motif. The national motto 'FAʻAVAE I LE ATUA SAMOA' is inscribed as a peripheral legend, with the issuer name 'SAMOA' and the year '2025' appearing above the arms. |

| Additional information |
Samoa's decimal coinage has historically been tied to Pacific regional agreements, but this Paris-themed issue sits outside that tradition entirely — it belongs to the collector-focused city series that the Central Bank of Samoa has licensed to wholesale numismatic distributors, a common arrangement among small Pacific island nations whose coin programs generate foreign exchange rather than circulating currency.
