| Additional information |
Kiribati issued a small series of commemorative silver dollars around the turn of the millennium, struck largely for the collector market rather than any domestic monetary purpose — the nation's actual circulating coinage had long been produced in modest copper-nickel runs. This piece marks Emperor Akihito's reign during a period when Japan maintained significant foreign aid relationships across Micronesia and the broader Pacific, Kiribati included.
The KM#28 attribution places it firmly within a short commemorative run with limited distribution outside specialist Pacific-issues dealers.
