Additional P-40 aircraft are depicted in aerial combat in the background amid billowing clouds, evoking WWII Pacific theatre engagements. The legend P-40 WARHAWK arcs prominently along the upper border in bold lettering.

| Aanvullende informatie |
The P-40 Warhawk saw its most iconic moment at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, when a handful of Army Air Corps pilots managed to get airborne against the Japanese attack — George Welch and Kenneth Taylor between them claimed six kills that morning. The Marshall Islands issued a long series of WWII aviation commemoratives in the early 1990s, largely targeting the American collector market with legal-tender face values that bore no relationship to actual monetary use in the islands.
KM#58 is one of dozens in that series. The .999 silver one-troy-ounce format was the standard vehicle for this entire commemorative program.
