Obverse lettering LES MARRAINES DE GUERRE-VERDUN 1916-2016 RF
(Translation: The Godmothers of the War-Verdun 1916-2016 French Republic)
Reverse description The reverse presents a dynamic, multi-layered battle composition commemorating the Battle of Verdun. In the upper right, French infantrymen in steel helmets are depicted in combat, one aiming a rifle from a rocky embankment. The lower and left portions of the field are dominated by a column of military supply vehicles — trucks and motorised transport — rendered in meticulous relief, evoking the famous Voie Sacrée (Sacred Way) supply route that sustained the French forces at Verdun. The denomination '10' in large numerals occupies the upper left, with 'EURO' inscribed vertically alongside.
