| Obverse description | The obverse displays the national seal of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, rendered in high relief within a decorative rope-and-chain border. The central device features a frigate bird with outstretched wings above a stylized atoll landscape incorporating a traditional outrigger canoe, palm trees, and ocean waves, with crossed staffs, a radiant sun, and a crescent moon in the upper field. A scroll at the base bears the word SEAL. The legend REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS arcs along the upper periphery, while the Marshallese national motto JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN curves along the lower border.

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic low-angle view of an Avro Lancaster heavy bomber in flight, rendered in finely detailed high relief against a mirror-polished field evoking a night sky. The aircraft is depicted banking slightly, with its four Merlin engines and distinctive twin tail assembly clearly delineated, while an explosion and rising flames are visible to the upper left, suggesting a successful dam-busting raid. The Upkeep bouncing bomb is visible beneath the fuselage. The legend LANCASTER arcs along the upper border, and the denomination 50 FIFTY DOLLARS is inscribed in the lower field. The Sunshine Mint mintmark S appears at the lower right. |
