| Descripción del anverso |
The obverse of this half-circle proof coin displays the national arms of Kiribati at center, featuring a shield bearing a frigate bird in flight above a rising sun over ocean waves, all rendered in high-relief proof finish. The denomination $5 appears in the upper field to the right of the flat edge, while the legend KIRIBATI curves along the left outer arc. The date range 1997-2000 is inscribed along the lower portion of the design, flanking the coat of arms. Horizontal wave lines fill the background field, echoing the island nation's oceanic identity. The straight edge of the half-circle bisects the design, giving the piece its distinctive semicircular format. |

| Descripción del reverso |
The reverse of this half-circle proof coin presents a dramatic depiction of the solar system, with concentric orbital rings emanating from a centrally positioned sun rendered with fine radiant detail. Planetary bodies are shown along their respective orbits, conveying the passage of celestial time. The legend TEMPORA MUTANTUR — Latin for 'Times Change' — is inscribed in bold letters along the lower arc of the curved edge. The upper portion of the design, along the straight diameter, continues the orbital motif. The deeply mirrored proof fields provide striking contrast against the frosted device elements throughout. |
