| Obverse description | The national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a traditional navigational stick chart below a radiant sun, flanked by crossed outrigger canoe paddles, with a frigate bird and a sailing canoe in the middle ground and a coastline with palm trees in the background. The circular legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper rim, with the denomination $50 at the left and the date 1998 at the right. The national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower rim. The design is enclosed by a beaded border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands' commemorative program of the 1990s was essentially a licensing operation, producing legal-tender silver rounds for the collector market with little connection to domestic currency needs. Ruth himself died in 1948, fifty years before this coin's issue — the anniversary timing is the entire justification for its existence.
