| Additional information |
The F9F Panther was the U.S. Navy's first operational jet fighter, and the first American jet to score an aerial kill in the Korean War — Lt. Commander William Amen downed a MiG-15 in November 1950. The Marshall Islands issued dozens of military aviation commemoratives throughout the 1990s, producing them in quantity for the collector market with little pretense of circulation.
KM#215 is one of several issues from this program struck at foreign contract mints under license, with the Republic lending its issuing authority to coins that would never see the islands.
