golden ball
Shiny yellow orb
Golden ball most often refers to a trophy or award in football (soccer), given to outstanding players—most famously the Ballon d'Or, awarded annually to the world's best player.
The term also appears in fairy tales and folklore, where a golden ball is a prized object that sets the plot in motion: The princess dropped her golden ball into the well.
More loosely, any shiny spherical object of gold or gold color.
