| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed effigy of the legendary baseball player Babe Ruth depicted in a three-quarter portrait, shown in mid-swing with a baseball bat resting on his left shoulder and his gaze directed upward, evoking his iconic batting stance. Ruth is attired in a pinstriped baseball uniform rendered with careful attention to fabric texture. The legend BABE RUTH arcs prominently along the upper field. The date 1998 appears to the lower left, and the denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed to the lower right. A small engraver's monogram MG is visible in the lower central field. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued commemorative dollar-denominated coinage throughout the 1990s in a sustained program targeting collector markets, with no serious intent of circulation. Ruth himself died in 1948, fifty years before this piece was struck — the anniversary providing the nominal occasion.
