| Obverse description | The national arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting the traditional Marshallese navigational chart (stick chart) motif flanked by a frigate bird and a traditional outrigger canoe at right, with a radiant sun above and palm trees to the left. The entire device is enclosed within a decorative chain border. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination $10 at the left and the date 1995 at the right. A scroll at the base bears the word SEAL, beneath which the national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN is inscribed along the lower legend. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing brass collector dollars in the early 1990s under a self-administered program that flooded the market with commemorative themes — aircraft, space missions, historical figures — timed to coincide with anniversaries and collector trends rather than any domestic monetary need. The F-100 Super Sabre issue appeared in the year of the type's 40th operational anniversary, the USAF having retired it from active American service in 1958, though it flew with Taiwan and Turkey well into the 1980s.
These pieces never circulated. Struck for the collector market and sold through direct-mail channels, surviving examples are almost universally found in original packaging.
