| Obverse description | The coat of arms of Kiribati occupies the central field within a heraldic shield, depicting a rising sun over ocean waves with a frigate bird in flight above. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto in Gilbertese. The legend 'CHRISTMAS ISLAND · 5 DOLLARS' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'KIRIBATI 2015' is inscribed along the lower border. The design is rendered in polished proof finish with fine relief detail throughout. |

| Additional information |
Part of a two-coin set requiring both pieces to complete the snowman figure, this issue was produced by the New Zealand Mint on behalf of Kiribati, whose government has long licensed its sovereignty for novelty and themed collector coinage with no domestic circulation intent. The black zirconia stones serve as the buttons on the snowman's body — functional only when the companion head coin is paired alongside it.
