| Reverse description | The reverse features a stylised outline map of the European Union in the left portion of the field, representing the fifteen member states as they stood at the time of the coin's introduction. The bold numeral 10 dominates the right side of the field, with the denomination legend EURO CENT inscribed below. The designer's initials LL, for Luc Luycx, appear discretely within the map design. Fine radial lines in the field behind the numeral add depth and contrast to the composition. |

| Additional information |
San Marino's euro coinage presented an unusual logistical arrangement from the start: the microstate has no mint of its own, so all pieces were struck at the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato in Rome under a formal agreement with the Italian government. Annual mintages were tightly capped under San Marino's currency agreement with the EU, which kept most years in this series well under a million pieces — modest even by small-nation standards. The 2007 date is the final year before the map reverse was updated to include Malta and Cyprus following their 2004 EU accession.
