The aircraft is shown in a dynamic banking attitude against a stylised sky field with motion lines suggesting high speed. The legend F-4 PHANTOM II arcs prominently across the upper field in bold relief lettering. The denomination 10 DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines at the lower left of the field. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in 1986, shortly after gaining sovereignty, and quickly became prolific — some would say excessive — in producing collector-targeted dollar denominations with no meaningful circulation history. This F-4 Phantom II issue belongs to that wave. The Phantom itself was retired from U.S. Navy front-line service in 1986, making this a retrospective tribute rather than a contemporary one.
