| Reverse description | The central device depicts a uniformed sailor embracing and kissing a woman, rendered in high relief after the iconic V-J Day celebration image, evoking the jubilation of the Allied victory and the end of World War II. The woman is bent back in the sailor's arms, her leg raised, in a dynamic and emotive composition. The legend PEACE is inscribed vertically along the left field, and TEN DOLLARS descends along the right field. The commemorative dates 1945 and 1995, separated by a small laurel branch, are inscribed in the lower central field to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the war's end. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands has no domestic mint and contracts all coin production to foreign facilities, primarily in the United States and Germany. This commemorative was issued by the Republic's government as legal tender, though the islands' actual circulating currency is the US dollar — none of these pieces ever entered commercial circulation in any functional sense.
The 50th anniversary series from this issuer spans dozens of individual titles covering the Pacific, Atlantic, and European theaters, produced in bulk for the collector market rather than for monetary use.
