| Additional information |
Kiribati adopted copper clad steel for this denomination in the early 1990s as a cost-cutting measure, following a pattern seen across Pacific island nations struggling to make small-denomination coinage economically viable to produce. The switch from the original bronze composition is what separates KM#1a from its predecessor — same dies, different planchet.
