| Obverse description | Unadorned right-facing effigy of King Juan Carlos I of Spain occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed wavy hair and a natural, unidealized portrait characteristic of late 20th- and early 21st-century Spanish coinage. The bust is truncated at the neck and positioned slightly left of center. A continuous legend arcs around the periphery reading JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA, with the date 2013 appearing in the lower exergual area flanked by two raised dots. The entire design is framed by an inner beaded border running along the full circumference. |

| Reverse description | The central field presents a detailed architectural view of the Court of the Lions (Patio de los Leones) at the Alhambra palace complex in Granada, with its celebrated fountain supported by twelve sculpted lions prominently depicted in the foreground. The surrounding arcaded galleries with their slender columns, intricate Moorish arched facades, and cypress trees rising above the roofline are rendered with fine engraving. The denomination 10 EURO appears in the upper portion of the field, accompanied to its right by the UNESCO logo. The Madrid mint mark (crowned M) is visible to the left of the denomination. The arc legend MILENIO REINO DE GRANADA curves along the upper periphery, while LA ALHAMBRA appears along the lower periphery, both flanked by a ring of twelve five-pointed stars referencing the European Union. |
