    Very Rare: 10,000 Minted
    This is the 1979 Kiribati 20 Cent Proof with toning on the obverse in sherbet colors burnt orange toning on the reverse. The fact that a PF 65 is the highest grade recorded for this coin just shows how rare this coin is. Time will make this coin impossible to find in the future.
    A Nation in Peril
    Kiribati may not exist as a nation within the next 20-30 years. The nation already has an evacuation plan in place due to rising sea levels. It's not a matter of "if" but "when." When an evacuation happens family, friends, pets, loved ones will be the first priority and rightfully so. In the chaos what little of these coins are left will probably be lost. This coin will be a bittersweet reminder of what we had, what we lost, and of a nation that is fighting for its very survival.
