The inscription COMPACT OF FREE ASSOCIATION appears to the left of the shell in two lines, the date 1986 is positioned to the right, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower rim. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands gained formal self-governance under the Compact of Free Association with the United States in 1986, and this silver dollar was issued to coincide with that transition. The Republic's early coinage program was explicitly tied to establishing visible symbols of sovereignty — the postal and monetary infrastructure came before much else. KM#2 places this as one of the earliest issues in the entire Marshall Islands series.
