The denomination '$50' appears to the left of the seal and the date '1991' to the right. The circular legend 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS' runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, while the Marshallese national motto 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN' arcs along the lower periphery.

Reverse description A detailed high-relief depiction of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber in flight occupies the majority of the field, shown in a three-quarter view banking over a landscape with clouds and smoke billowing in the background, evoking a World War II combat scene. The aircraft is rendered with fine engraved detail including engine nacelles, fuselage markings, and tail assembly. The legend 'B-29 SUPERFORTRESS' curves along the upper periphery. The denomination '50' appears in large numerals at the lower centre, with the word 'FIFTY' inscribed within the numeral '0' and 'DOLLARS' below. A mint mark 'M' is visible in the lower right field.
