The stylized federal eagle surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union in the center of the coin. Above the name of the state `BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND`, the Federal Republic of Germany. Below the eagle is the year `2012` and the face value `10 EURO` but not the words `Silber 625`, silver 625‰, to avoid any confusion with the coin minted in silver. Above the eagle is the mark of the Stuttgart workshop by the letter `F`.
