In its niobium core, Big Data's obverse features a human eye representing surveillance on the one hand and the biometric iris recognition method on the other, while the outer silver ring is designed as a camera lens. The reverse of the coin shows people under surveillance, recognizable by the 20:20 duration on the left edge of the outer silver ring. In the foreground of the niobium core, one of the human silhouettes is dotted with squares symbolizing the personal data collected on this person.
