The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, with the date 1997 and denomination $10 at the sides, and the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN along the lower legend.

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued a prolific series of brass "collector dollars" throughout the 1990s, largely marketed to the American novelty market rather than circulated domestically. Thaddaeus — identified in Luke's gospel as "Judas son of James" and distinguished from Iscariot by later tradition — is among the least documented of the twelve apostles, with most accounts of his ministry in Mesopotamia and Persia drawn from sources no earlier than the fourth century.
