The stylized federal eagle with the twelve stars of the European Union at its side, the words `Silber 625`, silver 625‰, to avoid any confusion with the coin minted in cupronickel, and the name of the state `BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND`, the Federal Republic of Germany. Beneath the eagle is the year `2012`, the face value `10 EURO` and the Munich workshop mark with the letter `D`.
