Yellow polymer light gathers around Sinaloa waterfall and the Manumea, placing Samoa’s 20 Tala within a landscape of water, forest and national nature.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse centres on the cascading Sinaloa waterfall in south-central Savai’i, framed by warm yellow colour fields, the teuila flower window and large denomination elements. The waterfall gives the note a strong sense of place, moving the polymer series beyond urban or ceremonial imagery toward Samoa’s inland landscape and natural abundance.

Reverse

The reverse is anchored by the Manumea, Samoa’s national bird, set among teuila flowers and the coat of arms of Samoa. This side gives the denomination an ecological and national character, pairing the country’s emblematic bird with its national flower while the polymer window repeats the teuila motif as part of the security design.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 20 Tala note belongs to Samoa’s 2023-2024 De La Rue Safeguard polymer update of the preceding paper family. The CC prefix identifies the 20 tala value within the polymer series, while the clear teuila flower window, ten raised tactile bumps and UV activity on the obverse provide useful authentication details. Its combination of Sinaloa waterfall, Manumea bird and teuila flower gives the denomination one of the strongest nature-focused profiles in Samoa’s modern tala issues.
