This Kiribati 50-cent postage stamp features a detailed map of Banaba Island, a raised coral island in the Pacific Ocean. Notable landmarks such as Tabiang, Buakonikai, and Home Bay are labeled, alongside a depiction of a flying fish—a species integral to the island's marine life and local diet. The red national crest and compass rose add regional identity, while the map underscores the island’s strategic layout. Issued during the 1980s, this stamp is part of a definitive series that celebrates Kiribati’s geography and biodiversity.
