In 1970, the NFL Championship Trophy was officially renamed the Vince Lombardi Trophy, in honor of the coach who won the first two Superbowls. The Vince Lombardi Trophy is made by Tiffany & Co., and, according to Wikipedia, it “is valued at $50,000,[2] and depicts a regulation-size football in kicking position that is made entirely of sterling silver, standing 22 inches (56 cm) tall, weighing 7 pounds (3.2 kg), it takes approximately four months and 72 man-hours to create.”
