A second Hurricane appears in the lower right of the field in a smaller, receding view, evoking a formation in flight. The legend HURRICANE is inscribed in bold lettering along the upper rim. The denomination 50 FIFTY DOLLARS appears in stacked format to the lower left of the primary aircraft. The mint mark S for Sunshine Minting is visible at the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Republic of the Marshall Islands began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1980s through a licensing arrangement with the Bradford Exchange, producing legal tender coins that were marketed almost entirely as collectibles rather than circulating currency. This Hurricane series entry honors the Hawker Hurricane, which — despite being overshadowed in popular memory by the Spitfire — actually accounted for more Luftwaffe kills during the Battle of Britain in 1940.
The irony is not lost on historians: the Marshall Islands themselves were a Japanese-occupied territory during the war these coins commemorate.
