Interesting fact
The America's Cup coin from American Samoa features a unique design, depicting a sailboat gliding across the ocean, with the words "America's Cup" written in bold letters above it. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was minted without the rope-like ornamentation that is typically found on coins from American Samoa. This gives the coin a clean and minimalistic look that sets it apart from other coins in the series.
