| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed composite design evoking the medieval Franc à Cheval gold coin of King Jean II le Bon, commemorating the Battle of Poitiers of 1356. The central field is dominated by a faithful high-relief reproduction of the original Franc à Cheval, showing the king on horseback in full armour, with the surrounding Gothic legend visible around the medallion's border. A second adjacent medallion displays an intricate Gothic cross and floral ornament, replicating the reverse of the historic coin. Below these medallions, a scene depicts a procession of armoured medieval soldiers with spears and shields. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in large characters to the left of the composition, with the inscription 'BATAILLE DE POITIERS 1356' arcing across the lower central field. |
