| Obverse description | The denomination '10 EURO' is displayed centrally between two flanking branches of laurel and oak, symbolizing civic and martial honor. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE' encircles the design along the periphery. Three hexagonal devices, emblematic of France's geometric national symbol, are distributed around the field. The overall composition is rendered in a clean, modern engraving style consistent with contemporary French commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | The figure of D'Artagnan, the celebrated Gascon musketeer from Alexandre Dumas's novel, is depicted in the lower register in a heroic posture. To the upper left of the field, the queen's diamond amulets—central to the novel's principal plot—are rendered as a thematic reference. To the right, ears of wheat and an armed lion, drawn from the heraldic coat of arms of Gascony, are superimposed upon a cartographic representation of the Gascony region, evoking the character's provincial origins. The date '2024' and the series designation appear in the legend. The composition skillfully integrates literary, heraldic, and cartographic iconography within a unified numismatic design. |
