| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a bold relief grouping of three heroic busts in profile facing left, representing a United States Navy sailor, a soldier in helmet, and an aviator wearing flight goggles, set against a dramatic background of billowing smoke and explosions evoking the attack on Pearl Harbor. The composition is rendered in a monumental, sculptural style suggestive of a war memorial. The arc legend 'TO THE HEROES OF PEARL HARBOR' runs along the upper periphery. Below the figural group, the denomination 'TEN DOLLARS' appears on a straight line, with the commemorative dual dates '1941 * 1991' inscribed below, marking the fiftieth anniversary of the attack. A small 'R' mintmark for the Roger Williams Mint is visible to the lower right of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1980s under a licensing arrangement, producing collector pieces with no genuine circulation role. This Pearl Harbor issue appeared on the 50th anniversary of the attack, part of a broader World War II commemorative series the issuer released throughout the early 1990s.
Nordic Gold — an alloy of copper, aluminum, zinc, and tin developed in the late 1980s — was adopted here before it became widely known as the material for euro-zone lower denominations.
