"Currently Marshall Islands coins are valued at or below their face value when bought and sold in the US coin market. The basis for their currency is the US dollar. This was only based on the US dollar and is not redeemable in the US. The coins are rarely redeemable at face value even on the islands. These coins were intended for collectors, not for widespread use as currency."

None. It is a copper-nickel alloy. The Marshall Islands have issued commemoratives for hundreds of events, none of which have to do with their own history. Most commemorate US figures or accomplishments, because that is where they find a market for these instant collectables. As near as I can tell, all the $5 coins are copper nickel, $10 coins are brass, and the $20 and $50 coins are silver (0.5 and1.0 troy ounces).
The monetary system if the Marshall Islands is the U.S. dollar.

Unfortunately, these privately minted Marshall Islands coins are essentially worthless. They are not silver, so they cannot even be sold for any metal value. You can't even redeem them at a bank in the Marshall Islands -- they won't honor them. At best, you might get a couple dollars as a novelty item. Wish I had better news for you,
it is actually the freedom tower silver dollar which is a one dollar coin minted under license of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) in 2004. it is however not issued by the official us mint.

This is a copper-nickel Medal commemorating the Apollo 11 flight. It was made in the Marshall Islands in 1989, this piece has no numismatic value. Also it's not US legal tender and not worth $5.00.
