| Obverse lettering | RÉPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE EURO 10 2019 |
| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the design of a historical French quarter écu silver coin of Louis XIV, presented as a coin-within-a-coin motif. The portrait of Louis XIV appears in right-facing laureate and draped bust, rendered in the baroque medallic tradition of the 17th century. The legend 'LVD XIIII D G FR ET NAV REX' encircles the portrait, reading 'Ludovicus XIV Dei Gratia Franciae et Navarrae Rex' — Louis XIV, by the grace of God, King of France and Navarre. This design references the coinage tradition spanning from 1640, when the louis d'or and silver écus formed the basis of French royal currency, through to the Revolution. |
