Coins-Australia and Oceania

Reverse
Along the upper edge of the coin is the English text 'TO THE HEROES OF D DAY', translated as 'To the Heroes of D-Day'. Below are two years: on the left 1944 — the year of Operation Neptune, on the right 1994 — the 50th anniversary of the memorial date and the year of issue. In the central part of the reverse is a relief image of a soldier running with a weapon against a background of naval warships. Below are two horizontal lines of text: 'FIVE' and 'DOLLARS'.
Obverse
In the central part is depicted the coat of arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which is a circular disc with an angel framed by two interlinked chains. Along the outer edge of the disc at the top is the name of the state in English 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS', at the bottom — the motto in Marshallese 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN', translated as 'Accomplishment Through Joint Effort'. Two rays emanate upwards from the angel's head, between which is a twenty-four-pointed star. Above the angel's wings, on the right is a fishing net, on the left — a shell tool. Below the wings: on the right — a canoe, on the left — coconut palms. Below the angel is an image of a traditional Marshallese navigational chart in perspective, below it an inscription on a ribbon 'Seal'. Below the outer chain, to the left of the disc, is the $5 sign — 'five dollars', to the right — the year of minting '1994'.
