| Obverse description | The obverse displays the official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands at center, featuring a central figure with outstretched wings flanked by traditional Marshallese implements including a paddle and a fishing net, with a radiant sun above and a traditional sailing canoe to the right, all set against a stylized ocean horizon. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination $10 at the lower left and the date 1995 at the lower right. The Marshallese motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN is inscribed along the lower border, with the word SEAL on a banner at the base of the design. The entire central device is enclosed within a decorative rope-and-bead border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in earnest during the late 1980s and 1990s through a licensing arrangement that produced dozens of themed issues — few of which ever circulated. This piece marks the 50th anniversary of V-E Day, May 8, 1945, when Germany's unconditional surrender ended the war in Europe. The irony of a Pacific nation commemorating that event is not trivial: while Europe celebrated, fighting in the Pacific continued for another three months, and Marshallese civilians had been living under Japanese occupation since 1914.
