| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of the Vermilion Bird, one of the four symbols of the Chinese constellations, shown in dynamic pose with outstretched wings, scaled plumage, and sweeping tail feathers rendered against a stippled black field. The mythical bird clutches a sphere at its breast and displays an elaborate crest with scrolling plumes, evoking the decorative style of a traditional Chinese eaves tile. The encircling legend is divided into two arcs around the upper periphery, reading 'CHINESE EAVES TILE' to the left and 'VERMILION BIRD' to the right. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Vermilion Bird is one of the Four Symbols of Chinese astronomy, governing the southern quadrant of the sky and associated with the element of fire — its appearance on a Samoan issue reflects the Pacific nation's longstanding practice of targeting the Asian collector market with culturally specific themes. Samoa has been a prolific issuer of collector coinage through the New Zealand Mint for well over a decade, with themes chosen almost entirely for export rather than domestic circulation.
At 40 grams in copper, this piece sits at the heavier end of the format Samoa favors for this series.
