Make an offer

This 100 Tala banknote was issued by Samoa in 2025. It is made of polymer, a synthetic material widely adopted by many central banks for the production of their modern banknotes. This substrate offers greater durability compared to traditional cotton paper and allows the integration of transparent windows as well as other security features specific to this technology.

The banknote honours Malietoa Tanumafili II, a major figure in Samoan history. As Head of State of Samoa, he left a lasting mark on the political and cultural identity of the country. His depiction on this high-denomination note reflects the considerable place he holds in Samoan national memory.

The other central iconographic element of this banknote is the Apia Cathedral, an iconic religious building located in the capital of Samoa. This cathedral represents an important architectural and spiritual landmark for the Samoan people, whose Christian faith is deeply rooted in society. Its presence on this banknote illustrates the close link between national identity and the religious heritage of the archipelago.

The tala is the official monetary unit of independent Samoa, distinct from American Samoa. This 100 tala banknote is the reference denomination in the country's banknote range. Its polymer substrate ensures increased resistance to wear, moisture and tearing, which is particularly suited to the tropical climate of the Polynesian archipelago. This banknote weighs 1 gram, which corresponds to the usual characteristics of polymer banknotes of this format.
