| Additional information |
Kiribati has no particular connection to Washington Irving's 1820 story — the nation issues themed collector coins under licensing arrangements that have little to do with its own history. This piece belongs to a broader wave of Pacific island nation silver issues produced primarily for the numismatic market, where the actual issuing authority is largely nominal.
