5 Cents Non-magnetic

Aversbeschreibung	The shield-shaped coat of arms of Kiribati occupies the central field, depicting a rising sun with radiating rays emerging from stylized ocean waves, surmounted by a frigate bird in flight. The legend KIRIBATI appears at the lower left of the coin, followed by the date 1979 at the lower right, both rendered in incuse Latin lettering along the bottom margin.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Kiribati achieved independence from Britain on July 12, 1979, making this among the first coins issued under the new national authority — the same year the Gilbert Islands formally ceased to exist as a colonial designation. The transition required establishing an entirely new monetary identity almost from scratch, with the Royal Australian Mint handling production.
