| Obverse description | The official Seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigatebird in flight above a traditional Marshallese outrigger canoe on water, flanked by palm trees to the left and a sailing vessel to the right, with a radiant sun and two crossed sticks in the upper portion of the seal. The lower segment of the seal features a traditional Marshallese stick chart navigation device. The entire design is encircled by a decorative chain border, with the legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcing above, the denomination $10 and the date 1996 flanking the sides, and the national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing novelty collector coinage in the late 1980s after gaining independence in 1986, exploiting its mint authority to generate revenue through commemorative programs aimed almost entirely at foreign collectors. None of these pieces circulated domestically in any meaningful sense. The Ford Model A — the nameplate revived from 1927 to 1931 after Henry Ford finally killed the Model T — sold over four million units in its short run, briefly saving the company from collapse before the Depression ended consumer appetite for new cars.
