A large exotic flower, identified as a heliconia, is highlighted with vivid gold-coloured enamel colouring, contrasting against the mirrored proof field. The arc legend 2014 FIFA WORLD CUP BRAZIL™ runs along the upper periphery, accompanied by an inner beaded border, and the year 2013 appears in an oval cartouche at the base. |
