| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in 1986 under authority granted through its Compact of Free Association with the United States, which took effect that same year. The arrangement gave the islands sufficient political autonomy to establish a numismatic program, though U.S. currency remains the functional money in daily use — meaning these issues were collectibles from the moment of striking, never intended for commerce.
"Reaching for the Stars" was part of a prolific 1992 series tied to space exploration themes, a subject the RMI mint leaned on heavily throughout the early 1990s.
