| Obverse description | Within a decorative octagonal geometric frame composed of incuse diagonal lines, the central field displays the denomination '10' in large numerals to the right, with the legend 'EURO' to its left. An olive branch in relief arcs across the upper portion of the central zone, while an oak branch with acorns is rendered in the lower portion, both serving as traditional Republican symbols. The legend 'REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE' is inscribed along the upper and lower margins of the inner octagonal panel, and the date '2017' appears vertically along the right inner border. The mint engraver's privy mark is visible in the lower right of the inner field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic full-figure depiction of a female cabaret dancer rendered in the high-relief style characteristic of Jean-Paul Gaultier's vision of Parisian culture. The figure is shown mid-performance, wearing an elaborate lace-trimmed cancan skirt with finely engraved net detailing, a structured bodice, and an ornate feathered headdress radiating from the crown. Behind the dancer, the iconic silhouette of the Moulin Rouge windmill is depicted in the right field, firmly anchoring the composition within the Montmartre iconography of Paris. The upper field bears the legend 'LA FRANCE' to the left and 'par Jean-Paul Gaultier' to the right, inscribed in a free, flowing typographic style consistent with the fashion designer's aesthetic. |
