The obverse features a single soccer player in action, running down the field with the ball at his feet, while the reverse displays the official World Cup USA 1994 logo with laurel branches. Designed by Richard T. LaRoche/Dean McCullen. Struck in 75% copper, 25% nickel over a pure copper center, weighing 11.34 grams, 30.6 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. The World Cup half dollar's dynamic single-player design makes it the most action-oriented of the three denominations in the program.
