| Obverse description | The obverse bears the national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in high relief at center, depicting a traditional Marshallese stick chart (rebbelib) flanked by a frigate bird above ocean waves, with a sailing canoe to the right and a coconut palm-fringed islet to the left, all beneath a radiant sun. The outer border is composed of a chain-link design. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS' arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN' (Accomplishment Through Joint Effort) curves along the lower periphery. The denomination '$5' appears to the left and the date '1993' to the right within the border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic depiction of a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) swimming beneath the ocean surface, rendered with careful attention to the species' characteristic long pectoral fins, pleated throat grooves, and tubercled rostrum. A waterline divides the field, with a mountainous coastal landscape and a flock of seabirds visible above the surface in the background. The legend 'HUMPBACK WHALE' arcs prominently along the upper periphery in bold serif lettering. The denomination '5 DOLLARS' is inscribed in the lower left field, and the date '1993' appears along the lower rim. The engraver's initials 'DE' are visible in the lower right field. |
