Coins-Australia and Oceania

Reverse
Along the upper edge of the coin from left to right is the English text 'TO THE HEROES OF THE BATTLE OF THE BULGE'; below it '1944 - 1994', where 1944 is the year of the WWII military operation and 1994 is the 50th anniversary of the commemorative date and the year of issue. The central part of the reverse features a relief depiction of a soldier with a weapon against a background of three snow-covered fir trees. Below the image is the inscription 'FIVE DOLLARS'. On the right, on a lower fir branch, is the 'R' mintmark of the Rhode Island mint.
Obverse
The central part features the coat of arms of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, which is a round disc with an angel framed by two interlocking chains. Along the outer edge of the disc at the top is the state name in English 'REPUBLIC OF THE MARSHALL ISLANDS', and at the bottom is the motto in Marshallese 'JEPILPILIN KE EJUKAAN', meaning '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 shell tool. 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, beneath which is the inscription on a ribbon 'Seal'. Outside the chain, to the left of the disc, is the $5 sign, and to the right is the year of mintage '1994'.
