| Reverse description | Central effigy of a World War I-era Australian ANZAC soldier depicted in three-quarter view, wearing a broad-brimmed slouch hat and military uniform, shouldering a rifle at the slope. Behind the figure, the Australian national flag is displayed to the left, while the outline of the Australian continent with the Southern Cross constellation appears to the right against a dark proof field. The commemorative legend WE WILL REMEMBER THEM arcs across the upper field, with the denomination 10 DOLLARS inscribed along the lower field and the fineness mark 500 SILVER appearing in the lower centre exergue. |

| Additional information |
Kiribati has no meaningful numismatic tradition of its own — these collector issues are produced entirely for the international commemorative market, with the Republic lending its issuing authority to series it has no historical connection to. ANZAC Day commemorates the April 1915 Gallipoli landings, a campaign fought thousands of miles from the Gilbert Islands, which were themselves a British protectorate at the time and largely untouched by that war.
The .500 fineness is a deliberate production choice to keep bullion costs low on a coin aimed at thematic collectors rather than silver stackers.
