The obverse shows a globe with the word “Numista” stretching across the sea, connecting continents and symbolizing the network of swaps and connections throughout the entire world. Around the globe are 12 of the major world currency symbols symbolizing the great diversity of coin types being exchanged. At the top of the coin is the “N” symbol for Numista. Below the globe is written “2007-2017” for the ten years of Numista. Next to the date are the initials “MC” of the designer McKay.
