| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents an extraordinarily detailed high-relief portrait of a Eurasian Eagle-owl (Bubo bubo) perched frontally within a natural rocky crevice, its prominent ear tufts erect and its large, deeply sculpted round eyes staring directly forward with striking intensity. The plumage is rendered with exceptional craftsmanship, depicting the layered feathers of the breast, wings, and facial disc with fine textural precision consistent with the antique finish technique. The background features rugged rock formations and gnarled branches in high relief, further enhancing the naturalistic, almost sculptural quality of the composition. The scientific name 'BUBO BUBO' is inscribed along the upper left arc of the field in bold serif lettering, serving as the sole legend on this face. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Samoa's wildlife coin program has produced issues tied to endemic Pacific species, but the Eurasian Eagle-owl has no native range anywhere near the archipelago — it's a Holarctic bird found across Europe and Asia. These cross-regional nature series are typically driven by international coin marketing firms that license designs to smaller issuing authorities, with the Central Bank lending its name and legal tender status to a product aimed squarely at thematic collectors rather than circulation.
