Along the outer edge of the disc at the top is the state name in English 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS', at the bottom is the motto in Marshallese 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN', translated as 'Accomplishment Through Joint Effort'. Two rays emanate upward 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 is a tool made from a shell. Below the wings: on the right is a canoe, on the left are coconut palms. Below the angel is an image of a traditional Marshallese navigational chart in perspective, below it the inscription on a ribbon 'Seal'. Under the outer chain, to the left of the disc, is the $5 sign, and to the right is the year of mintage '1996'.
