200 Dollars Christmas Island

Christmas Island — properly Kiritimati — is the world's largest coral atoll by land area and sits within the Pacific Ocean portion of Kiribati, a nation whose scattered island geography made it the first territory on Earth to enter the year 2000 after a controversial 1995 decision to redraw the International Date Line eastward around its islands. That political maneuver was partly economic, intended to attract millennium tourism. This coin belongs to a broader series of Kiribati gold issues produced under contract by external minting facilities, as the nation maintains no domestic mint.
