| Obverse description | The numeral denomination '10' and the legend 'EURO' are displayed prominently in the central field, flanked by a branch of laurel to the left and a branch of oak to the right, both rendered in fine relief. The encircling legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' is distributed across three interlocking hexagonal cartouches, a design motif evoking the national emblem of France. The date of issue appears within the composition. The overall design reflects the standardised French commemorative obverse introduced by engraver Joaquin Jimenez. |

| Reverse description | The central motif depicts the stylised figure of a concentration camp prisoner, rendered in stripped uniform, raising joined hands above a strand of barbed wire; the cupped hands form the outline of a dove in flight, symbolising freedom and peace. The stark imagery references the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp in January 1945. The surrounding legend records the commemorative inscription and anniversary dates, divided across the field in segmented lettering. The design balances solemn historical reference with a message of hope through its symbolic transformation of captivity into a bird of peace. |
