This includes the crown-like spike on its head that is known as a coronet. This is a common feature that is distinctive to the species. The design element includes bubbles in the water with stylized waves in the foreground.

Reverse

The national coat of arms for the Independent State of Samoa is found on the reverse field of 2020 Samoa Seahorse 1 oz Silver Coins. The coat of arms comes with a Christian cross above a shield that features hatched ocean waves and a palm tree in the upper field of the shield.

The inscriptions on this face of the coin read 1 Troy Ounce, Samoa 2020, 999 Fine Silver, and 2 Tala. There is a beaded border around the design element on this side of the coin.
