| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative dollar coinage in the late 1980s under a licensing arrangement that turned the island nation into a prolific producer of collector-targeted brass and copper-nickel pieces with no real domestic circulation. This F-16 issue appeared during a period when the type was still the backbone of USAF tactical operations, and the Marshall Islands' close administrative and financial ties to the United States made American military hardware a predictable subject.
KM#229 is one of dozens of issues from this program. Collector demand was modest at issue and has not recovered.
