5 Dollars Independence, Silver Proof Issue

Aversbeschreibung	At centre, the national coat of arms of Kiribati is depicted in shield form, showing a rising sun with radiating rays emerging above stylised ocean waves in the lower half, and a great frigate bird in flight occupying the upper half of the shield. The highly polished mirror fields characteristic of proof coinage frame the device, creating strong contrast with the frosted relief. The curved Latin legend 'KIRIBATI' appears at lower left and the date '1979' at lower right, both positioned beneath the shield along the lower arc of the coin.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse depicts a traditionally adorned I-Kiribati warrior or dancer seated cross-legged, rendered in high-relief frosted finish against a deeply mirrored field. The figure wears traditional regalia including a beaded or shell necklace and decorative body ornamentation, with arms outstretched in a ceremonial pose; before him rests a large circular object consistent with a traditional drum or shield. The denomination 'FIVE DOLLARS' is inscribed in bold, slightly spaced Latin lettering along the lower arc of the field.
