The legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' encircles the design, accompanied by three stylized hexagons representing France. The date 2015 appears within the outer inscription. Below the numeral '10', the cornucopia mint mark is present, while the pentagon privy mark of the mint director appears above. |

| Additional information |
Issued to coincide with the 2015 release of new Astérix album material and the broader *Astérix* fiftieth-anniversary commercial cycle, this piece is part of Monnaie de Paris's long-running commemorative program pairing the Goscinny and Uderzo characters with French republican values. The "Equality" theme places it in a trio alongside Liberty and Fraternity issues from the same series. Billon at .333 fineness sits closer to a base-metal coin than a silver one — a deliberate choice that kept retail pricing accessible for the collector gift market rather than the bullion trade.
