| Obverse description | The central field bears the national arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, depicting a frigate bird with outstretched wings at centre, flanked by a traditional outrigger canoe to the right and a palm-lined atoll to the left, with two crossed traditional navigational sticks below and a radiant sun above. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper border, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN appears along the lower border, with the word SEAL on a scroll at the bottom. The denomination $10 and the date 1997 appear to the left and right respectively within the border. The entire design is encircled by a decorative chain border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued commemorative dollar coinage throughout the 1990s at a prolific rate, largely targeting the collector market rather than circulation. Most pieces from this program were struck by foreign contract mints and saw no transactional use domestically.
Simon the Apostle — identified in Luke 6:15 as "Simon who was called the Zealot" — is among the least documented of the Twelve, with no reliably attributed writings or confirmed mission territory in the historical record.
