| Additional information |
Issued as part of Samoa's ongoing licensed bullion and collector program, which has expanded aggressively since the country adopted the New Zealand dollar as legal tender in 2015 — a move that left its own coinage entirely decorative by function. The "Flash" designation refers to a lenticular or prismatic surface effect, a technique licensed through specialist minting intermediaries rather than produced by any Samoan state facility.
KM#786.1 suggests a numbered variant within a closely related family, likely differentiated by colorization batch or reverse detail.
