| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands' coin program of the late 1980s and early 1990s was a frank revenue operation — the republic had no meaningful domestic coin circulation and issued collector pieces almost exclusively for the foreign numismatic market. This particular issue commemorates the B-29 Superfortress, the aircraft that flew from bases including Tinian and Saipan in the Northern Marianas — islands geographically and historically proximate to the Marshalls — to conduct the firebombing campaign over Japan and, ultimately, the atomic missions of August 1945.
KM#60 was struck by the Pobjoy Mint under contract.
