| Coin | Silver Half Ounce 2022 Justice League - Green Lantern |

The currency of Samoa is the Tālā, the name of which is a transliteration of the English words Dollar; it was introduced in 1967. On coinage sometimes the English word is inscribed, especially on commemorative and bullion coins not intended to circulate within the country.
Samoa has authorised some private mints to issue coins under its jurisdiction, which come in a variety of sizes - including in the popular silver half ounce (1/2 oz silver) format, such as this one.
This coin is part of a twelve-coin series featuring Justice League comics characters, and shows Green Lantern.
The Mint says about the series:
DC Comics writer Gardner Fox based the Justice League off of the Justice Society of America. The group first appeared in the March 1960 DC Comics issue 28, The Brave and the Bold. The initial team members included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter. While other superheroes have come and gone since then, the first members of the Justice League are iconic and beloved. In November of 1960, the new superhero team got their own comic book, titled "Justice League of America." |
