| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse presents a highly detailed engraving of the Union ironclad warship USS Monitor underway in choppy seas, depicted in three-quarter profile view with its distinctive cylindrical revolving gun turret prominently rendered amidships and a single smokestack emitting billowing clouds of smoke into the darkened field above. The opposing Confederate vessel CSS Virginia (Merrimack) is partially visible to the left amid cannon smoke, evoking the famous Battle of Hampton Roads of 1862. The legend USS MONITOR arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 DOLLARS appears to the right in the field. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The USS Monitor, commissioned in February 1862, fought the CSS Virginia (formerly USS Merrimack) to a tactical draw at Hampton Roads in March of that year — the first engagement between iron-hulled warships in naval history. The battle effectively ended the era of wooden warships overnight, rendering every major navy's fleet obsolete simultaneously. Monitor herself sank in a storm off Cape Hatteras that December, taking sixteen crew members with her.
Marshall Islands issued dozens of these commemorative five-dollar copper-nickel pieces through the 1990s, many tied to American military history. Collector saturation from that decade-long program keeps secondary market values modest.
