| Beschrijving keerzijde | A detailed engraving of an ancient Greek trireme warship dominates the field, depicted under full sail with its characteristic multiple banks of oars extending from the hull and rigging rendered in fine relief. The vessel is shown underway on open water, with a coastline and hills visible in the background to the left and right. The legend GREEK TRIREME arcs along the upper portion of the field, while the denomination 10 DOLLARS appears to the right in the field. A small mint mark R is visible near the lower right of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1980s under a licensing arrangement that turned the young republic — only independent since 1986 — into a prolific producer of collectible pieces for the international market rather than domestic circulation. The Greek trireme series belongs to that broader program, which drew heavily on ancient history, space exploration, and Americana to supply a collector base with little connection to the islands themselves.
Triremes as a subject were well-worked across world coin programs by the 1990s, partly driven by the 1987 completion of the reconstructed Olympias and renewed academic interest in ancient Athenian naval power.
