| Beschrijving keerzijde | A naturalistic underwater and surface scene depicts three Risso's dolphins (Grampus griseus) in dynamic poses: a large adult occupies the lower right foreground diving through the water, a second dolphin swims horizontally at mid-field to the left, and a third is partially visible at the waterline. In the background, a low tropical atoll island fringed with tall palm trees is rendered in fine detail against the open sky. The legend RISSO'S DOLPHIN arcs along the upper periphery. The denomination 50 DOLLARS appears in the lower left field and the date 1993 is inscribed along the lower border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage aggressively in the early 1990s, flooding the collector market with silver and clad pieces at a pace that drew criticism from numismatic publications at the time. Most pieces from this program were sold directly to collectors and never circulated, which accounts for the near-universal gem condition of surviving examples.
Risso's dolphins are notably associated with Pacific waters around Micronesia, giving this issue at least a geographic logic that several companion pieces in the series lacked.
