Obverse description	The national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, featuring a stylised frigate bird with outstretched wings set against a depiction of the sun, a traditional outrigger canoe, coconut palms, and ocean waves. Two crossed traditional navigation sticks flank the upper portion of the seal, with a small canoe paddle to the left and a shell to the right. The entire central device is encircled by a decorative chain border. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while .999 PURE and 1/2 OZ SILVER appear at the left and right respectively, and the Marshallese motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN arcs along the lower periphery, all within the chain border.

Reverse description	A large, naturalistically rendered pandanus fruit (Pandanus tectorius) dominates the central field, depicted in high relief with its characteristic segmented, textured surface and radiating leaves curving around the fruit. A branch with elongated leaves extends across the upper portion of the design. The denomination HALF DOLLAR is inscribed along the upper rim, the commemorative legend COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION arcs along the lower rim, and the date 1986 appears at the right, all in raised Latin lettering against a polished field.
