| Obverse description | A perspective view of the Avenue des Champs-Élysées looking toward the Arc de Triomphe in the background, the composition taken from the vantage point of the Place de la Concorde with the tip of the Luxor Obelisk visible in the foreground. At the center of the design, a large stylized golden flame commemorates the centenary of the Flame of the Unknown Soldier, flanked by two gilded arches. The flanking rows of trees are decorated with golden star garlands evoking the eternal flame tradition, while golden strokes throughout the field symbolize the vibrant life of the avenue, celebrating Paris as the City of Light. The legend FLAMME DU SOLDAT INCONNU 100 ANS and the country monogram RF appear alongside the inscription CHAMPS ELYSÉES. |

| Reverse description | A stylized aerial cartographic representation of Paris in which the city's arrondissements are depicted as a cluster of islands arranged in a pyramidal composition, separated by the meandering course of the Seine River. The Île Saint-Louis and the Île de la Cité are rendered as clearly identifiable landmasses within the composition, evoking the historic urban geography of the French capital. The design employs a modern, abstract aesthetic reminiscent of an archipelago. The reverse legend TRÉSORS DE PARIS arcs above the design, with the date 2020 and denomination 10 EURO inscribed below. |
