| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national coat of arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigate bird in flight above a traditional Marshallese sailing canoe on ocean waves, flanked by two crossed sticks at upper left and a coconut palm and pandanus at left, with a radiant sun at top center and a fishing net at upper right. A decorative chain border frames the entire design. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower periphery above a ribbon inscribed SEAL. The denomination $50 appears at left and the date 1996 at right within the chain border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Big Boy" in question is the Union Pacific 4-8-8-4 articulated steam locomotive, the largest and most powerful steam engine ever built by axle arrangement. Union Pacific's fleet of 25 Big Boys, constructed by ALCO between 1941 and 1944, were purpose-engineered to haul freight over the Wasatch Range in Utah — a grade that defeated conventional power. The Marshall Islands issued a sprawling series of $50 silver rounds throughout the 1990s under liberal commemorative licensing arrangements, with American railroad subjects among the most frequently contracted themes.
These pieces were sold directly to collectors and never entered circulation in the islands.
