| Obverse description | The obverse features the official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands rendered in high relief at center, depicting a traditional Marshallese sailing canoe on water, a frigate bird in flight, and a sun with radiating rays, all surrounded by symbolic elements including a blimp, palm trees, and a fishing net. The seal is inscribed with the word SEAL at its base within a rectangular cartouche. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower periphery. The denomination $50 appears to the lower left and the date 1989 to the lower right, both flanking the central device. The entire design is framed by a decorative beaded chain border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic depiction of an astronaut performing a spacewalk, shown in full figure floating in the void of space with a tether and equipment visible. The astronaut is rendered in fine relief against a dark, mirror-like field suggestive of outer space, with a crescent Earth or spacecraft element visible in the lower left. The curved legend FIRST AMERICAN SPACE WALK arcs along the upper periphery, and the commemorative date 1965 appears at the lower right of the legend. The denomination 50 FIFTY DOLLARS is inscribed to the right of the central figure. Small five-pointed stars accent the field as decorative elements. |
