| Obverse description | The obverse features the official seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands rendered in high relief against a mirrored proof field, encircled by a decorative chain border. The central device depicts a frigatebird with outstretched wings above a traditional Marshallese outrigger canoe sailing on stylized waves, flanked by a coconut palm grove to the left and figures to the right, with two crossed traditional staffs and a radiant sun above. The word SEAL appears on a cartouche at the base of the central device. The upper legend reads REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS, with the denomination $50 at the left and the date 1991 at the right, both within the chain border. The Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN is inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic aerial view of the Space Shuttle Columbia depicted from above, its distinctive delta wings bearing the USA marking, shown in orbit above the curvature of the Earth with a star-scattered black field in the background. Wisps of cloud formations and scattered island outlines — evoking the Marshall Islands archipelago — are rendered in the lower field. The legend SPACE SHUTTLE COLUMBIA arcs along the upper border, while the commemorative dates 1981 and 1991 flank the lower portion of the shuttle, marking the tenth anniversary of Columbia's first flight. The denomination 50 FIFTY DOLLARS appears in a stylized numeral design at the lower right, accompanied by the engraver Marcel Jovine's signature monogram. |
