The obverse of the Soccer Half Dollar was designed by Clint Hansen and features two women playing soccer. The inscriptions include “Liberty”, “In God We Trust”, “Atlanta XXXVI Olympiad”, the date “1996” and the Olympics logo.

The reverse design of the coin is the same as used for the 1996 Swimming Half Dollar. It features an arrangement of the Olympic flame, logo, and number “100”. This is surrounded by the inscriptions “United States of America”, “E Pluribus Unum”, and “Atlanta 1996”. The denomination “Half Dollar” appears in the center of the coin, split by the Olympic flame.
