| Additional information |
Samoa's collector coinage program has leaned heavily on botanical and cultural themes since the early 2010s, largely driven by demand from the European secondary market rather than domestic circulation needs. This piece fits squarely in that commercial run — produced almost certainly by a European private mint under contract, as is standard practice for Pacific island collector issues of this period.
KM#528 records no unusual mintage anomaly or minting history worth flagging.
