| Beschrijving voorzijde | The official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands is depicted in the central field, rendered in high relief and featuring a traditional Marshallese stick chart flanked by a frigate bird with outstretched wings, palm trees to the left, and a traditional sailing canoe to the right, with a radiant sun above. The date 1988 appears in two parts flanking the lower portion of the seal, above a cartouche inscribed SEAL. The outer legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower border. The entire design is encircled by a decorative chain link border. |

Greg Louganis won both the platform and springboard diving gold medals at the 1988 Seoul Olympics — a feat made extraordinary by the fact that during preliminaries he struck his head on the springboard, required stitches, and returned to competition hours later to win. What was not publicly known at the time was that Louganis was HIV-positive, a detail that would not emerge until his 1995 autobiography and which reframed the incident considerably in retrospect.
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in 1986 under enabling legislation designed to generate government revenue, producing dozens of sporting and celebrity subjects through the late 1980s and 1990s. Mintages were typically high and secondary market premiums remain modest.
