I do not know about the speciment but the font that I have on my system contains
two such symbols. The sample code below shows what needs to be done:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage{xgreek}
\begin{document}
\Huge
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Script=Greek]{GFS Neohellenic}
Ξ  % this is the letter Xi

%

\addfontfeature{Alternate=0}
%

Ξ % this is the letter Xi
%

\end{document}
