| Obverse description | A detailed architectural view of Schloss Ambras (Ambras Castle) with its formal Renaissance-style garden occupies the central field. The clock tower rises prominently at center, dividing the legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH across the upper and lower registers. The denomination 10 EURO and the date 2002 appear within the legend, with the castle name SCHLOSS AMBRAS also inscribed. The engraving captures the characteristic Renaissance terraced layout of the historic Tyrolean palace in fine relief. |

| Reverse description | Three court musicians are depicted in high relief within the celebrated Spanish Hall (Spanischer Saal) of Schloss Ambras, rendered in the style of a 1569 period representation. The scene honors Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria (here described as king), renowned as a patron and organizer of courtly festivities. The richly paneled interior architecture of the Spanish Hall forms the backdrop, conveying the Renaissance splendor of the Habsburg court. The figures are shown in period costume with period instruments, reflecting the historical authenticity of the composition. |
