| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Kiribati occupies the central field, depicting a frigate bird in flight above a rising sun over ocean waves, all within a heraldic shield. The arms are set against a background of multiple horizontal wave-like lines evoking the island nation's Pacific Ocean setting. The denomination $500 appears in raised relief at the upper portion of the legend band, with KIRIBATI inscribed along the left arc and the date 2000 along the lower arc. A scroll beneath the shield bears the national motto TE MAURI TE RAOI AO TE TABOMOA. The entire design is struck in high relief on a polished proof field, the coin taking the form of a jagged half-circle symbolising division between war and peace. |
