Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of German and Samoan cultural elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of German Samoa, which was a German colony from 1900 to 1914, while the reverse side features a traditional Samoan canoe, highlighting the island's rich maritime history and culture. This blend of cultures makes the coin a fascinating piece for collectors interested in the history and diversity of the Pacific region.
