The central field is bisected by two horizontal lines, between which appears the colorized shield of the Spanish Olympic Committee. The denomination '10 EURO' and the mint mark 'M' appear alongside the legend 'EQUIPO OLÍMPICO ESPAÑOL' arcing along the lower periphery. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Spain's participation in the Rio de Janeiro Summer Olympics, this coin was struck the same year the Spanish team delivered one of its historically weaker medal hauls — finishing with seventeen medals but just seven gold, a result that prompted considerable domestic debate about sports funding policy. The Royal Mint of Spain released it as part of a broader commemorative program tied to Rio, alongside other denominations in the series.
