Western Samoa
Discovered in 1772, and declared neutral by Britain, USA and Germany by the Berlin agreement of 1889, but came under German control in 1899. It was occupied by New Zealand between 1914 and 1962 under a United Nations mandate, when it became independent as Western Samoa. It dropped the "Western" in 1997 to become "Samoa".

Western Samoa Coins
Our 1994 coin shown therefore qualifies as being issued by Western Samoa. It celebrates part of the life of the Queen Mother as a member of the British Commonwealth.
The word "tala" is undoubtedly from dollar or thaler.
