| Obverse description | The central field features the crowned Spanish royal coat of arms, displaying the quartered shield with the castles of Castile, lions of León, chains of Navarre, and the Aragonese pale, surmounted by the royal crown. Surrounding the central device, the field is divided into contrasting mirrored and matte halves, with eight historical coin motifs from various Ibero-American nations arranged in a circle around the periphery, referencing the Encounter of Two Worlds theme. The circular legend reads JUAN CARLOS I REY DE ESPAÑA along the upper arc, with the denomination 10 EURO inscribed along the lower arc, all separated by decorative dots. |

The sails and rigging are meticulously engraved, conveying speed and athleticism. The Madrid Mint mark and the date 2007 appear to the left of the vessel.
