| Reverse description | The central field depicts a dynamic athletic scene of two football players contesting for the ball in front of a goal net, rendered in bold relief against a plain field, evoking the excitement of the 1998 FIFA World Cup held in France. The upper peripheral legend reads 'CAMPEÃO MUNDIAL DE FUTEBOL FRANÇA 1998', flanked by two small five-pointed stars. The word 'FRANÇA' is prominently inscribed in the lower field beneath the central design, serving as both a geographic reference and a tribute to France as the host nation and champion. |
