| Reverse description | A finely detailed three-quarter view of the Deutsche Bundesbahn (DB) Class 01 express steam locomotive is depicted in right profile, rendered with high relief showing the locomotive's boiler, driving wheels, connecting rods, and front headlamp in precise mechanical detail. A billowing plume of steam and smoke rises dramatically from the smokestack, filling the upper field. The locomotive designation DB CLASS 01 is inscribed in the lower field beneath the engine. The legend TEN DOLLARS arcs along the upper border, and the date 1996 appears in large numerals along the lower border. |

| 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.
