| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a detailed representation of the façade of the Palace of Versailles rendered in high relief against the silver field, with a stylized sun motif visible above the central roofline. In the lower left foreground, the ornate gilt wrought-iron grille gate of Versailles dominates the composition, featuring elaborate gilded scrollwork, a crowned royal cipher, and classical acanthus motifs highlighted in gold. The initials 'RF' (République Française) appear in the right field. The arc legend 'CHÂTEAU DE VERSAILLES' curves along the upper border in raised Latin lettering. The combination of frosted architectural detail and selective gold gilding on the gate reflects the coin's commemorative artistic theme. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold geometric, faceted design in the style of modern low-polygon art, abstractly evoking the reflective surfaces of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles through angular planes and prismatic relief work across the entire field. A stylized ribbon or flowing element weaves diagonally through the composition, adding dynamism to the angular motif. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in large raised letters along the lower portion of the field, flanked by decorative dots. The year '2018' appears in the right field, and the arc legend 'TRESORS DE PARIS' curves along the upper border in Latin script. The overall design is executed in a contemporary numismatic style, contrasting with the classical architecture depicted on the obverse. |
