It just struck me that E PLURIBUS UNUM should have been placed on the side with the connected "fingers", while LIBERTY would have been more appropriate on a ball destined to fly free than on the device meant to capture the ball.

IAAF stands for International Amateur Athletics Association.

Almost. Initially, between 1912 and 2001, the abbreviation IAAF was short for International Amateur Athletics Federation. Then it meant International Association of Athletics Federations, and roughly a year after your post (mid-2019) the name was changed to the current World Athletics. Here is a German €10 collector coin from 2009, with the same abbreviation.
