Samoan ruling authorities. [solved]

Queen Elizabeth II should NOT be included as a ruling authority for Samoa's coin listings - as Samoa is classed as a republic since 2007, when Malietoa Tanumafili II died.

Agreed. You can request changes to remove the erroneous EIIR references. I've just done so for this coin.

Samoa is a republic and the head of state is elected for a period of 5 years . So Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi and Tuimalealiifano Va'aletoa Sualauvi II also should NOT be included as a ruling authority, we don't add American presidents as ruling authorities either.
I would make an exception for Tanumafili II since he was appointed for life.

Malietoa Tanumafili II died in 2007.

Currently, there is a proposal in the local Parliament to have Heads of State appointed for life & for succession to come from the 4 paramount chiefly families.

If adopted, it would turn Samoa into an elective monarchy almost like in Malaysia (whose Kings are appointed for 5 years by & from among the native monarchs) instead of a republic.

Please change the title 'Ruling authority' to 'Head of State' - & remove Queen Elizabeth II's name from the list of post-1962 ruling authorities.
