| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of Kiribati occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with a rising sun above ocean waves and a frigatebird in flight across the chief. Below the shield, a scroll ribbon bears the national motto in Gilbertese in raised lettering. The country name KIRIBATI and the date 2000 appear as a curved legend along the lower periphery of the field. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field presents a sculptural rendition of the Madonna and Child in high relief, depicting the Virgin Mary veiled and robed, cradling the Christ Child at her left side in a composition reminiscent of medieval devotional imagery. The denomination $ 200 appears to the left of the central device within the inner circle. The surrounding annulus is bordered by a beaded inner ring and carries the legend CHRISTMAS ISLAND arching across the upper portion and HOLY YEAR 2000 along the lower portion, with small asterisk ornaments flanking the sides. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christmas Island — properly Kiritimati — is the world's largest coral atoll by land area and sits within the Line Islands group administered by Kiribati. The year 2000 made it briefly famous for a reason entirely unrelated to coinage: as the first inhabited place on Earth to welcome the new millennium, owing to a deliberate 1995 boundary shift that moved the International Date Line eastward to keep all of Kiribati within a single time zone. That administrative redrawing turned a remote atoll into a global media spectacle, and this issue exists directly because of it.
