| Obverse description | The official Seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands occupies the central field, depicting a frigatebird with outstretched wings above a traditional Marshallese canoe sailing on stylized waves, with palm trees to the left and a radiant sun flanked by crossed traditional implements at the top. The seal is enclosed within a decorative chain border. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower periphery. The denomination $50 appears at the left and the date 1995 at the right, both within the chain border. |

| Additional information |
The Marshall Islands operated an aggressive commemorative program throughout the 1990s, issuing legal-tender coinage for a sovereign nation that had no meaningful domestic coin circulation — the U.S. dollar served that function entirely. Churchill was a reliable seller in this market, and 1995 placed the issue near the fiftieth anniversary of the war's end, a deliberate commercial calculation. KM#218 is one of several Churchill-themed pieces the series produced, distinguishing it from the broader run requires checking the specific reverse design against the catalog plate.
