A terrestrial globe opened along the equatorial line as a box. The northern hemisphere is normal with geographical features, while the southern one is made in shape of a soccer ball. From the opened globe is coming out an olive branch on which is wound a ribbon with the names of the two finalist teams of the World Cup. In the field, at left of the composition are the value, and the mintmark, while the name on the author is on lower position. As background another geographical globe made only by meridians and parallels.
