| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a dramatic low-angle portrayal of a Vought F4U Corsair in flight, rendered in fine detail with its distinctive gull-wing silhouette prominent in the foreground. A second Corsair is visible to the upper left, and a downed Japanese fighter aircraft appears in the lower right of the field, suggesting aerial combat. A rugged mountainous headland forms the backdrop, evoking the Pacific Theater of World War II. The legend 'F4U CORSAIR' arcs across the upper field, while the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed at the lower left, accompanied by a small crossed-aircraft mintmark device at lower right. The mint mark 'S' for Sunshine Minting appears to the right of the denomination. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The F4U Corsair entered U.S. Navy service later than expected precisely because carrier landing evaluators initially rejected it — its long nose made forward visibility on approach dangerously poor. The Marines took it to land bases in the Solomons instead, where it racked up an 11-to-1 kill ratio against Japanese aircraft before the Navy eventually relented on carrier deployment.
The Marshall Islands issued dozens of these brass commemorative dollars in the early 1990s for the collector market, with no meaningful circulation intended. KM#98 is one of several aviation-themed pieces from that run.
