| Obverse description | Left-facing effigy of Pope Benedict XVI rendered in high relief against a polished field, depicted in clerical vestments without headwear. The curved legend BENEDICTVS XVI PONT. MAX. A. VI MMX arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters. The engraver's signature INC. V. DE SETA appears to the lower right of the portrait, while the name P. DANIELE is inscribed at the lower left near the coin's rim. The overall style is restrained and classically medallic, characteristic of Vatican commemorative issues. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a humanitarian scene in keeping with the World Day of Peace theme: a standing male figure holding a shovel is shown to the left, while two kneeling figures tend to a third person on the ground, evoking themes of aid, solidarity, and reconciliation. Radiating lines emanating from the upper right suggest divine light or hope. The mint mark R appears to the lower left of the composition. The legend CITTA DEL VATICANO arcs along the upper rim, and the denomination EU 10 RO is displayed across the lower exergue, flanked by the euro mark and mint letter. |
