| Obverse description | The obverse displays the official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands rendered in high relief at the center of the field, enclosed within a decorative chain border. The seal depicts a traditional Marshallese frigatebird with outstretched wings above a navigational star pattern, flanked by a sailing canoe and a nuclear test monument, with a radiant sun above. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN appears along the lower periphery. The denomination $5 is inscribed at the lower left, and the date 1997 at the lower right, both within the chain border. The word SEAL appears on a ribbon at the base of the central device. |

| Additional information |
Issued in the months following Diana's death in August 1997, this is one of dozens of commemorative pieces released by Pacific island nations whose mint programs exist almost entirely for the collector market — the Marshall Islands having no meaningful domestic coin circulation. The pieces were struck in vast quantities and distributed through mail-order catalog networks, making them genuinely common despite their commemorative framing.
