| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic high-relief composition by engraver Jimenez depicting a football player in mid-stride preparing to strike a ball positioned before a goal mouth, rendered in the foreground. Behind him, an overlapping vignette shows a gaucho on horseback, evoking the 1930 inaugural FIFA World Cup held in Uruguay. The curved legend 'COUPE DU MONDE' arcs around the left and upper periphery, with 'URUGUAY 1930' and '1950' inscribed within the field, referencing past tournament hosts. The year '1998' appears prominently in the lower exergue, and the engraver's name 'JIMENEZ' is inscribed at the base of the design. |
