| Obverse description | The obverse is designed in the form of the head of a tennis racket. The Lacoste vintage crocodile logo appears at the top of the handle area, while the string face of the racket displays the cotton piqué texture emblematic of the Lacoste brand in place of traditional stringing. Below the string field, the denomination '10 €' is inscribed, with the two zeros stylised to resemble tennis balls. The national identifier 'RF' and the date '2023' complete the legend. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the handle of a tennis racket rendered with meticulous engraving that faithfully replicates the tactile grip and construction details of an actual racket handle. The stringing pattern in the upper portion of the face features an engraved crocodile — the emblematic symbol of the Lacoste brand and the celebrated nickname of founder René Lacoste — alongside a tennis ball rendered with the dimpled surface texture of a golf ball, a deliberate tribute to Simone Thion de La Chaume, René Lacoste's wife and a champion golfer in her own right. |
