| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands rendered in high relief at centre, depicting a frigate bird with outstretched wings above a traditional Marshallese stick chart navigation device, flanked by a sailing canoe to the right and palm trees to the left, with a radiant sun above and traditional symbols in the upper field. The arms are enclosed within 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 1996 to the right. The Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower periphery, above a scroll inscribed SEAL. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands ran an aggressive commemorative program through the 1990s, licensing themes with broad collector appeal — migratory birds, space missions, classic cars — and farming production out to minting contractors rather than operating sovereign facilities. This piece is part of that commercial series, not the product of any domestic monetary need.
The face value is nominal fiction; no $50 coin ever circulated in Majuro.
