| Reverse description | The large numeral 10 dominates the right portion of the inner gold-colored field, with a seated allegorical female figure depicted to the left, rendered in a classical style with flowing drapery. Radiating lines extend outward from the central design. The word SPECIMEN appears within a cartouche in the lower portion of the inner field. A ring of twelve five-pointed stars encircles the outer silver-colored ring, referencing standard Euro coinage design conventions. The letter E, likely abbreviating Euro, appears to the upper left of the numeral. |

Issued to mark Sarkozy's election to the presidency in May 2007, this piece belongs to the French Monnaie de Paris series commemorating the Fifth Republic's heads of state — a tradition that has occasionally generated political controversy when living figures appear on circulating-adjacent issues. Sarkozy became the first sitting French president depicted on a euro-denominated coin so shortly after taking office.
