| Reverse description | Dynamic relief composition depicting two ANZAC soldiers in characteristic broad-brimmed slouch hats, armed with rifles and advancing across the shore during the Gallipoli amphibious landing of 1915. A naval officer is visible in the background manning a landing craft, with a warship rendered on the horizon in the mid-field. The Australian Rising Sun badge appears prominently at the upper portion of the design beneath a banner scroll inscribed 1915 GALLIPOLI LANDING CENTENARY. The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed along the lower exergue, with the fineness .500 SILVER noted within the reverse legend. |

| Additional information |
Kiribati's use as a nominal issuing authority for commemorative coins is essentially a licensing arrangement — the island nation's monetary infrastructure has no practical role in production or distribution. These pieces are struck by private minting houses and sold directly into the collector market, never approaching the Pacific at any point in their existence.
The Gallipoli centenary generated an unusual volume of competing commemorative issues across multiple Commonwealth issuers in 2015, with Australia, New Zealand, and several surrogate Pacific states all entering the market simultaneously. The .500 fineness places this firmly in the budget commemorative tier.
