| Obverse description | The official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicted in high relief and enclosed within a decorative chain border. The seal features a traditional Marshallese stick chart navigation device in the lower field, flanked by a sailing canoe to the right and palm trees to the left, with a radiant sun above. The date 1988 appears divided on either side of a rectangular tablet inscribed SEAL in the lower portion of the design. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower border. |

Issued to commemorate Louganis's performance at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, where he struck his head on the springboard during the preliminary round of the 3-meter event — a moment broadcast worldwide — then returned to complete his dives and win gold. He won a second gold on the platform. The Marshall Islands operated an aggressive commemorative coinage program throughout the late 1980s, producing legal-tender issues with no practical circulation base, distributed almost entirely through foreign coin dealers and mail-order channels.
