| Obverse description | The national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigatebird in flight above a traditional outrigger canoe and ocean waves, flanked by palm trees at left and a sailing vessel at right, with crossed traditional implements and a radiant sun above. The seal is encircled by a decorative chain border. The legend 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS' arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination '$50' at the left and the date '1993' at the right. The Marshallese national motto 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN' appears along the lower border, with the word 'SEAL' inscribed on a ribbon below the central device. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in 1986 under authority granted through its Compact of Free Association with the United States, which conferred the right to produce legal tender without a domestic central bank. Most of the series was struck by the Pobjoy Mint or the U.S. Mint's contractors and aimed squarely at the collector market — these pieces saw no meaningful circulation.
The bottlenose dolphin issue appeared in a crowded year for Marshall Islands silver releases, competing alongside a dozen other commemorative subjects from the same issuer in 1993 alone.
