| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold denomination '10 EURO' rendered in large numerals at the centre of the field, accompanied by an olive branch above and a floral sprig below, both rendered in fine relief. The central motif is framed within a geometric hexagonal lattice pattern with chamfered facets, creating a structured decorative border that fills the field to the rim. The French Republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' is inscribed around the perimeter of the hexagonal frame, partially visible along the upper and lower margins, with the date '2011' incorporated into the right side of the border. |

Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Regions of France" series, this piece represents Burgundy — a region whose wine economy was already centuries old when Dijon served as the ducal capital of one of the most powerful states in late medieval Europe. The Valois Dukes of Burgundy at their height controlled territory stretching from the Rhône to the North Sea, rivaling the French crown itself before the duchy's absorption in 1477.
