The animal is rendered in high sculptural relief against a savanna landscape featuring sparse acacia trees and scrub vegetation in the middle and far ground. The denomination 10 DOLLARS appears in the right field. The designer's initials DE are visible in the lower left field, and the Roger Williams Mint mark R appears near the center right. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued a flood of commemorative brass pieces throughout the 1990s targeting the collector novelty market rather than circulation — this elephant issue is one of dozens from that decade. The program generated revenue through foreign coin distributors, not domestic use. KM#406 has no particular scarcity within the series.
