| Obverse description | The obverse displays the official Seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands centrally positioned in the field, depicting a traditional stick chart navigation instrument flanked by a frigate bird in flight above and a canoe sail to the right, with a sun radiating rays at the top. Surrounding the seal are stylized wave motifs and island vegetation. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPIILPIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower border. The denomination $5 appears to the left and the date 1998 to the right of the central device. The word SEAL is inscribed within a cartouche at the base of the central design. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1980s through the Franklin Mint under a licensing arrangement — a common route for Pacific island nations with limited domestic minting infrastructure but a recognized sovereign right to issue currency. Most pieces in this program, including the annual Christmas issues, circulated almost exclusively among collectors rather than within the islands themselves.
