Kiribati 20-CENTS (KM5)

Dolphins

Part of Kiribati's first coins issued in 1979, the 20 cent dolphin coin has not been re-minted since (as of 2017). 

There are three species of dolphin that frequent the waters of Kiribati: Fraser's dolphin, Spinner dolphin, and Rough-toothed dolphin. All dolphins are in the family Delphinidae, but all three of these species are in their own genus.
