| Obverse description | The obverse reproduces the iconic cover artwork of the Asterix comic album 'Astérix aux Jeux Olympiques', rendered in full color on the coin's field. The central figure of Asterix is depicted in a dynamic, triumphant pose, wearing his characteristic winged helmet, with the face value '10 EURO' prominently displayed as an integral element of the design. The legend '© 2024 LES EDITIONS ALBERT RENÉ' appears in the field alongside the French Republican monogram 'RF' and the date '2024', affirming both the intellectual property attribution and the coin's issuing authority. The artwork is executed in the bold ligne claire graphic style characteristic of the Goscinny and Uderzo tradition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a humorous pugilistic scene in the spirit of the Asterix series, featuring Obelix and the Roman soldier Claudius Cornedurus squaring off in a boxing contest rendered in full color. Obelix, characteristically rotund and imposing, dominates the composition, while the small dog Dogmatix shelters behind him with an expression of wide-eyed trepidation. The field is enriched with decorative motifs evoking the ancient Olympic Games and the broader themes of sport and Olympism. The curved legend 'Astérix AUX JEUX OLYMPIQUES' is inscribed across the upper portion of the field, identifying the series. The overall design blends the comic strip's characteristic humor with numismatic artistry befitting a commemorative issue. |
