| Obverse description | The obverse of this half-circle proof coin displays the national arms of Kiribati at center, featuring a shield bearing a frigate bird in flight above a rising sun over ocean waves, all rendered in high-relief proof finish. The denomination $5 appears in the upper field to the right of the flat edge, while the legend KIRIBATI curves along the left outer arc. The date range 1997-2000 is inscribed along the lower portion of the design, flanking the coat of arms. Horizontal wave lines fill the background field, echoing the island nation's oceanic identity. The straight edge of the half-circle bisects the design, giving the piece its distinctive semicircular format. |
