| Obverse description | The national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a traditional Marshallese stick chart navigation device flanked by a frigate bird and a sailing canoe, with a sun rising above. A decorative beaded border frames the design. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS' arcs along the upper periphery, while the national motto 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN' is inscribed along the lower periphery. The denomination '$50' appears to the lower left and the date '1995' to the lower right of the seal. The word 'SEAL' is inscribed on a banner within the central design. |

| Additional information |
The F-86 Sabre defined the air war over Korea, where American pilots flying the type clashed with Soviet-flown MiG-15s along the Yalu River corridor known as "MiG Alley." The exchange ratio — contested but officially claimed at roughly 10:1 in the Sabre's favor — made the aircraft a Cold War icon before the armistice was even signed in 1953.
The Marshall Islands issued dozens of commemorative silver rounds through the 1990s under a program that leaned heavily on American military aviation themes, partly reflecting the islands' own deep entanglement with U.S. defense history.
