| Obverse description | The obverse displays the official Seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands rendered in high relief at the centre of the field, depicting a frigatebird with outstretched wings above a traditional outrigger canoe and a coconut palm-lined atoll shoreline, flanked by crossed traditional stick charts and a fishing net, with a radiant sun above. The seal is encircled by a decorative chain border. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, with the denomination $50 to the left and the date 1995 to the right. The Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands issued a long series of commemorative dollars throughout the 1990s targeting the collector market directly, bypassing circulation entirely. These pieces were legal tender in name only — the islands used the US dollar for all practical commerce, making these coins collectible objects from the moment of issue rather than functioning currency.
The Mirage 2000C entered French Air Force service in 1984, developed as a dedicated air-superiority interceptor after France withdrew from NATO's integrated command structure and required a domestically sovereign air defense capability.
