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 ounce (1 oz silver) format, such as this one.
This coin features DC Comics character, the supervillain Two-Face.
The Mint says about it: One of Batman's most threatening arch-nemesis in the DC Comics world is the supervillain Two-Face. Once a District Attorney, he turned into a dangerous criminal after the grit of Gotham ate his soul. Harvey Dent (aka Two-face) has a superior intellect, deep knowledge of criminal law and is armed with a set of .22 calibers. He is obsessed with the idea of chance, making most of his dark decisions based on the toss of a coin. |
