| Obverse description | The national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigate bird with outstretched wings above a traditional Marshallese stick chart, flanked by a sailing canoe to the right and palm trees to the left, with a radiant sun and crossed navigational tools above. The entire device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The outer border features a decorative chain motif, with the legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcing above and the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN below. The denomination $10 appears to the left and the date 1996 to the right of the central device, with the word SEAL inscribed beneath the main design. |

| Additional information |
The Class 01 was Germany's prestige express locomotive of the late 1920s and 1930s, designed to haul heavy passenger trains at sustained speeds above 130 km/h. The Marshall Islands issued a long-running series of commemorative brass dollars throughout the 1990s honoring international railway subjects — a curious choice for a Pacific atoll nation with no railway infrastructure whatsoever, driven entirely by the collector market rather than any domestic relevance.
