| Additional information |
Christmas Island — properly Kiritimati — is part of Kiribati's Line Islands group and holds the distinction of being the largest coral atoll by land area in the world. It was also ground zero for British and American nuclear testing in the late 1950s and early 1960s, a history the Kiribati government has been conspicuously quiet about on its commemorative coinage. This issue was produced by a private mint under contract, as Kiribati has no domestic minting facility.
