Depicts a stylized New York skyline in the top third, representing one of the championship venues. In the center, there's a soccer goalpost extending to the edge, with a goalkeeper diving to stop a ball, shown as a hole in the net. The hosting country's name is written on the left side of the net, and the year of the World Cup is at the bottom. Above it all, the words "Football World Cup" are inscribed.

Depicts above the center the coat of arms of the Republic of Hungary. Below the coat of arms, in four rows, the denomination, mintmark, year of issue, and the designer's surname are readable. Inside the depiction of the second digit of the denomination, there is a circular hole. A right angle extending to the edge of the coin divides the obverse, interrupted by one of its legs at the beginning of the last digit of the denomination, and the other leg at the coat of arms.

The Hungarian coat of arms, adopted in 1919 and reaffirmed on July 3, 1990, features a vertically divided shield with a rounded base. The left field displays eight red and silver horizontal bars, symbolizing the Árpád dynasty, while the right field depicts three green hills with a golden crown on the center hill and a silver patriarchal cross emerging from it. These elements represent the Danube, Tisza, Dráva, and Száva rivers, and the Tátra, Mátra, and Fátra mountain ranges. Atop the shield rests the Holy Crown of Hungary, also known as the Crown of Saint Stephen, which has been used for coronations since the 12th century. The crown's cross was tilted in the 17th century due to damage, and it has remained in this position since then, symbolizing the enduring history and legitimacy of Hungarian monarchs.
