10 Dollars Christmas Island

Christmas Island — properly Kiritimati — is the world's largest coral atoll by land area and sits within the Line Islands group that Kiribati administers. This $10 gold issue is part of a broader wave of small-format collector gold that Pacific island nations began producing in the early 2000s, largely through the Pobjoy Mint, targeting the numismatic market rather than domestic circulation. Kiribati has no domestic gold-coin tradition of its own; these pieces exist because the licensing revenue matters to a nation with a GDP measured in the low hundreds of millions.
