| Obverse description | Facing three-quarter bust portrait of the French Baroque composer Jean-Philippe Rameau occupying the right portion of the field, depicted in period costume with an elaborate curled wig rendered in fine detail. To the left, the denomination '10 EURO' appears in bold upright lettering, below which the composer's name is inscribed in an elegant cursive script evocative of Baroque calligraphy. Musical instrument elements, including what appears to be a stringed instrument, form a decorative background motif behind the portrait. The monogram 'RF' (République Française) appears in small capitals at the lower right of the field. |

| Reverse description | An elaborately costumed female figure in a sweeping Baroque-era ball gown with ornate feathered headdress is depicted in full length, centrally positioned and rendered in high relief with exceptional detail in the drapery and textile work. Behind her, a background of layered musical score sheets or stage architecture creates a sense of operatic depth and theatricality, evoking the world of 18th-century French opera. To the left, a darkened arc of the field bears the inscription 'LA MUSIQUE' in upright serif lettering. The date '2014' appears vertically at the lower left, adjacent to the decorative border. |
