Part of the Marshall Islands' prolific 1990s commemorative program, this issue belongs to a planetary series that the republic used almost entirely as a revenue mechanism — the coins were legal tender in name but designed for the collector market, never intended to circulate. The Marshall Islands had no domestic silver mining or minting infrastructure; production was contracted to outside facilities.
KM#175 is one of dozens of near-identical one-troy-ounce issues from this period, distinguished only by subject.
