| Obverse description | Bust of the comic book character Largo Winch rendered in a bold graphic style occupies the left portion of the field, depicting the protagonist three-quarter facing right with flowing hair and an open collar. To the right, a modern cylindrical skyscraper bearing the stylised 'W' logo is shown in relief against a mirror-polished background. The denomination '10 EURO' appears prominently to the upper right in large numerals, with the republican monogram 'RF' inscribed at lower centre. The legend 'LARGO WINCH' arcs across the upper border, incorporating the characteristic 'W' emblem of the series. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Monnaie de Paris series celebrating Franco-Belgian comic book heroes, this piece was issued the same year a second Largo Winch film had recently finished its theatrical run in France — the timing was commercial, not coincidental. The series leaned heavily on the bande dessinée tradition that French mint authorities had been quietly monetizing since the mid-2000s.
.900 fine rather than the more common .925 used in most French collector silver of the period — a specification choice that consistently catches buyers off guard when they attempt alloy comparisons within the broader series.
