| Obverse description | Central field bears the Coat of Arms of the Hellenic Republic — a white Greek cross on a blue escutcheon, encircled by an olive wreath — set within a decorative inner ring. The circular legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ (Hellenic Republic) runs around the central device, with the denomination 10 ΕΥΡΩ (10 Euro) inscribed below. The entire composition is surrounded by an elaborately engraved decorative border featuring stylised foliate and floral motifs in a classical Hellenic tradition, with a continuous Greek key (meander) pattern forming the outermost rim. |

| Reverse description | A finely rendered left-facing draped bust of the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle occupies the central field, depicted in a classical sculptural style with wavy hair and a full beard rendered in high relief. The inscription ΑΡΙΣΤΟΤΕΛΗΣ (Aristotle) arcs along the upper left periphery, accompanied by his life dates 384-322 π.Χ. (BC). The date of issue, 2014, appears to the right of the bust, beside the mint mark of the National Mint of Greece. The design is framed by a continuous Greek key (meander) border at the rim, consistent with the obverse treatment, lending the issue a unified classical aesthetic. |
