L'Ancien Ballon D'Or was created by the Roman Empire approximately in 300BC. It was the first perfectly spherical object created by mankind. The exact production method remains to be revealed, yet it has been suspected that Le Ballon was made by running a piece of solid gold in a container of moving viscous liquid for 10-12 years.

Lawrence Holloway and Charles Baudelaire, as well as other prominent art historians, have attempted to trace back the history and exact method used to create the Ballon. At present, research of the Ballon is led by Kharkiv National University's Art History Department, and is primarily sponsored by an unidentified Ukrainian investor.

It is not known who currently possesses the Ballon D'Or. However, black market sources suggest that previous owners include Clint Eastwood and George Grosz.
