| Obverse description | A highly detailed depiction of the frigate L'Hermione under full sail occupies the central field, rendered in a dynamic three-quarter perspective with billowing sails and rigging finely engraved against a polished mirror background. The ship rides upon stylized waves in the lower portion of the field, with decorative elements visible at the bow. The legend L'HERMIONE arcs along the upper left in raised Latin letters, while the Republican monogram RF appears in the lower right field. The coin's border is defined by a rope-pattern inner rim, consistent with the maritime theme of the series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a large diagonal sail sweeping across the central field from lower left to upper right, rendered in polished relief against a matte background, evoking a sense of movement. To the right of the sail, a raised effigy of Marianne in profile faces left, her hair loosely styled, serving as the symbolic representation of the French Republic. The denomination 10 EURO is inscribed in large numerals and lettering in the center of the field. The curved legend LES GRANDS NAVIRES FRANÇAIS arcs around the upper portion of the coin following the rope-pattern inner border, and the date 2012 appears in a cartouche at the base. |
