Blue polymer tones carry Samoa from rugby triumph to the school road, placing national pride beside the next generation.

Design & Symbolism

Obverse

The obverse centres on the Samoa rugby team being crowned champions at the IRB Hong Kong Sevens in 2007, set beside the teuila flower window, large denomination elements and the Central Bank of Samoa layout. The scene gives the 10 Tala a public sporting focus, turning rugby into a marker of collective achievement within the modern polymer series.

Reverse

The reverse shifts from sporting victory to everyday life, showing Samoan school children on their way to school beside the coat of arms of Samoa and the teuila flower window. This quieter scene balances the obverse by linking national success with education, youth and continuity, giving the denomination a broader civic meaning beyond the rugby celebration.

Collector’s Insight

For collectors, this 10 Tala note belongs to Samoa’s 2023-2024 polymer update of the preceding paper family, retaining the core denomination theme while moving onto De La Rue Safeguard polymer. The BB prefix identifies the 10 tala value within this polymer series, while the clear teuila flower window and the Lautimuia Uelese Va’ai and Maiava Atalina Emma Ainuu-Enari signature combination help distinguish it from earlier paper issues. Its rugby subject also gives the note a clear thematic position among modern Pacific sport-related banknotes.
