Interesting fact

The 1998 Marshall Islands Christmas $5 coin made of copper-nickel features a unique festive design, showcasing a colorful depiction of Santa Claus and his reindeer-pulled sleigh on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Marshall Islands. This coin is not only visually appealing but also holds historical significance, as it was issued during a time when the Marshall Islands were still a part of the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands, which was a United Nations trust territory administered by the United States. This coin serves as a reminder of the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
