Obverse
Gold: The World Cup trophy is the centerpiece of this design.
Silver: In the dramatic design on the front of this coin, two soccer players from opposing teams hone in on the ball. The action and intensity of the moment are clearly portrayed by the players' positions.
Clad: Features a soccer player about to kick a ball. The large year 1994 stands out in the background. A fairly unusual design element is the horizontal (rather than curved) main inscriptions.
