Marine Silver #2
Today we're going to look at another island nation coin. The beautiful two Tala silver seahorse.
Obverse
The obverse features a more abstract depiction of a seahorse. Around the seahorse float air bubbles above blades of seaweed. The background itself shows what I think are stylized currents. Might as well be cracks in an aquarium. Seahorse prison break anyone?
Reverse
On the reverse, the coin shows the Samoan coat of arms. A wreath inspired by the United Nations with a cross on top. The cross originates from a firm Christian beliefe in the Samoan people. This belief is also found at the bottom in their motto. It reads "Fa'avae i le Atua Sāmoa" which translates to "Samoa is founded on God".
The denomination of the coin is 2 Tala making it legal tender in Samoa.
Conclusion
And so we conclude this small look at the 2 Tala silver seahorse. Hope you enjoyed it. Do you have ocean-themed coins in your collection as well?
Even though dragons don't like water, they certainly do love silver
