| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a bold portrait of Winston Churchill standing at right in three-quarter view, wearing a suit and characteristic homburg hat, his right arm raised with two fingers extended in his iconic V-for-Victory salute. Behind him, a jubilant crowd of celebrating figures fills the lower field, evoking the VE Day celebrations of May 1945. The legend PEACE arcs prominently across the upper field, flanked by the commemorative dates 1945 and 1995 at upper right. The denomination TEN DOLLARS is inscribed in two lines at the lower left of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
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.
