| Obverse description | The obverse features the face value '10 EURO' prominently displayed within a stylized design incorporating an oak branch and a laurel branch, both evoking classical French Republican symbolism. The outer border is composed of a series of lines arranged to suggest the hexagonal outline of metropolitan France. The legend 'RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' arcs along the upper field, with the date '2019' inscribed in the lower portion. The overall composition is rendered in a modern graphic style characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the design of a medieval Gros struck during the reign of Pope Clement VI (1342–1352), the third Avignon Pope, known as 'Le Magnifique' (The Magnificent). The central field displays the papal cross and characteristic Gothic lettering typical of 14th-century French ecclesiastical coinage. The inscription references Clement VI and the Avignon papacy, evoking the period when the Holy See was established in Avignon. The design faithfully echoes the numismatic aesthetic of the original medieval Gros, integrating it within the broader 'Monnaie de Paris Coin of History' commemorative framework. |
