Issued to mark the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting hosted in Samoa — the first time a Pacific Island nation has held CHOGM in the meeting's history. Commemorative polymer issues of this type are typically produced in limited runs and tend to see little genuine circulation, functioning more as collector pieces than transactional currency from the moment of release.
De La Rue's SAFEGUARD™ substrate has been the platform of choice for Pacific island issuers for over two decades, partly due to durability advantages in humid tropical climates where cotton-paper notes degrade rapidly.
