| Reverse description | Two colorfully enameled football players in dynamic mid-contest action occupy the central field, one dressed in blue and white, the other in dark red and yellow, with a football at their feet. The Eiffel Tower, symbolizing the host city of Paris for the 1998 FIFA World Cup, is depicted in outline to the right of the players. The curved legend XVI COUPE MONDIALE arcs along the upper periphery, and the date 1997 appears in the exergue at the bottom. The polychrome enamel applied to the figures provides vivid contrast against the matte silver field. |
