| Obverse description | The national arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a traditional Marshallese canoe sail, a sunburst, a frigate bird, and a fish within a divided shield. Flanking devices include palm fronds and a traditional stick chart. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS runs along the upper periphery, with the denomination $10 and date 1991 placed to the left and right of the arms respectively. The word SEAL appears in the lower central field beneath the arms, and the national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN arcs along the lower border, separated by small ornamental dots. The entire design is surrounded by a beaded inner border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued a sprawling series of $10 brass pieces in the early 1990s commemorating World War II aircraft, and the Yak-9 entry honors the Soviet fighter that outperformed the Luftwaffe's Bf 109G at low and medium altitudes on the Eastern Front. By 1944, Yak-9 variants equipped the bulk of Soviet fighter aviation. The Marshall Islands had no particular connection to Soviet air power — these were collector tokens issued under broad licensing arrangements, distributed primarily through Franklin Mint-style direct-mail channels rather than any domestic circulation.
