Interesting fact
The 50 Sene coin from Samoa featuring Tanumafili II, minted in 1967, is interesting because it was the first coin to feature the country's head of state, who was also the first Samoan to hold the position of Head of State. This coin was a significant departure from previous Samoan coins, which had featured images of foreign leaders or colonial administrators. The coin's design was created by the Samoan artist, Fiamalu Peni, and it has become a symbol of Samoan national pride and identity.
