The Marshall Islands issued a long series of commemorative dollars throughout the 1990s, largely marketed to collectors rather than intended for circulation. This piece draws from Kennedy's 1961 inaugural address — the "pay any price, bear any burden" passage — issued during the post-Cold War period when that rhetoric carried a newly ironic weight. The Republic of the Marshall Islands, a former U.S. nuclear test site, choosing to commemorate American Cold War idealism is a detail the catalog number alone cannot convey.
