| Obverse description | Rectangular field rendered in high relief depicting a dramatic overhead perspective of a classic chopper-style motorcycle, shown diagonally across the composition. The motorcycle is rendered in meticulous mechanical detail, with the V-twin engine prominently displayed at centre, exhaust pipes sweeping outward, and a skull figure with gilded gold finish integrated into the engine area. A small bird emblem adorns the fuel tank. The upper-right corner features diagonal gold-gilded hatching bands, while the lower-right corner bears a heraldic shield flanked by laurel branches, above which the inscriptions SAMOA, 5 TALA, 2 OZ AG 999, and 2025 appear in raised lettering with gold gilding. The entire composition is framed by an ornate geometric border with Art Deco-style decorative elements. |

| Reverse description | Rectangular field rendered in high relief presenting an exploded flat-lay arrangement of motorcycle components and riding gear displayed against a textured herringbone-patterned background. A fully assembled chopper-style motorcycle occupies the centre of the composition, featuring a gilded gold skull with gas mask mounted at the engine. Surrounding the motorcycle in an organised tableau are numerous individual parts and accessories including a leather saddlebag, rider's helmet, leather jacket, boots, gloves, V-twin engine block, pistons, shock absorbers, exhaust pipes, brake disc, fuel canister, and various mechanical components, all rendered with exceptional three-dimensional relief. Selective gold gilding highlights specific elements, adding contrast to the otherwise antique-finished silver surface. The composition is enclosed within a multi-line geometric Art Deco border consistent with the obverse frame. |
