Obverse
In the obverse design of 2021 Antique Samoa Pacific Mermaid Silver Coins, the Scottsdale Mint offers the Samoan coat of arms. Samoa was the first Polynesian nation to establish a renewed, independent status in the 20th century. The coat of arms it uses today was adopted in 1962 and is based somewhat on the United Nations emblem. The shield is split into one-third and two-third sections, with the upper-third featuring a green sea with a coconut palm and the bottom two-thirds boasting the Southern Cross constellation. In the background are concentric circles representing the world, while olive branches surrounded it on the sides and a Christian cross tops the field. Inscriptions on this side are limited to SAMOA, 2021, and 2 TALA.
Reverse
For the reverse face of the 2021 Antique Samoa pacific Mermaid 1 oz Silver Coin, the Scottsdale Mint offers a vision of a Pacific Mermaid. As a Polynesian sailor comes by in his outrigger canoe, this beautiful mermaid emerges from the waters to lure him in and distract him as dangerous sea creatures begin to circle beneath his vessel. The inscriptions on this face read PACIFIC MERMAID and 1 OZ 999 SILVER.
History
Many tales of mermaids in Western culture are derived from the Sirens of Greek mythology. However, if you look at cultures far removed from the geographic and culture influence of the Greeks, you will find countless tales of beings similar to mermaids around the world.
