To the right, a forward wearing jersey number 9 is shown in mid-stride approaching the goal. The legend 'WORLD CUP '94' arcs along the upper periphery, and the denomination '10 DOLLARS' is inscribed in the lower field. The composition is rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished proof background. |

| Additional information |
Cook Islands issued a wave of silver commemoratives through the early 1990s under licensing arrangements that had little to do with the islands themselves — the World Cup '94 series among them. The 1994 FIFA World Cup, held in the United States, was the first to use a 24-team format and drew the highest aggregate attendance of any World Cup to date, records that still hold.
KM#254 is one of dozens of near-identical issues from this licensing period, struck two years before the event it commemorates.
