Interesting fact
The 100 Tala - Tanumafili II (Roosevelt) 1981 coin from Samoa is a unique piece, as it features a portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, on one side, and the Samoan coat of arms on the other. This coin was issued to commemorate Roosevelt's visit to Samoa in 1942, during World War II. It's interesting to note that Roosevelt was a key figure in the history of Samoa, as he played a significant role in the country's transition from a German colony to a New Zealand mandate in 1914.
