| Obverse description | The obverse of this irregularly shaped half-coin features the national arms of Kiribati centrally placed within the field, depicting a shield charged with a rising sun above ocean waves and a frigate bird in flight, set against a stylized background of horizontal wave lines evoking the Pacific Ocean. The denomination '$5' appears in the upper right of the field, while the legend 'KIRIBATI' arcs along the left periphery in raised Latin characters. The date range '1997 - 2000' is inscribed along the lower arc of the coin's curved edge, referencing the series issue period. The jagged straight edge bisects the design diagonally through the upper right quadrant, a deliberate artistic feature of this interlocking puzzle-coin series. |
