Interesting fact

The 100 Tala coin featuring Tanumafili II (Robert Louis Stevenson) from Samoa is interesting because it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Stevenson's arrival in Samoa, where he lived and wrote for several years. The coin's design features a portrait of Stevenson on one side and an image of the Samoan island of Upolu on the other. It's made of gold (.916) and weighs 7.5 grams.
