| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a scene from Gustave Flaubert's novel, showing Emma Bovary in the company of her lover in the foreground, rendered in a painterly, narrative relief style. The figure of Charles Bovary is subtly integrated into the background, set against a distinctly Norman architectural landscape featuring a traditional half-timbered house. The composition evokes the novel's provincial setting with considerable artistic detail. The legend MADAME BOVARY and the country identifier RF (République Française) appear within the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a portrait effigy of the novelist Gustave Flaubert rendered in right-facing relief, accompanied by a literary quotation from his celebrated work: UN INFINI DE PASSIONS PEUT TENIR DANS UNE MINUTE (An infinite number of passions can be held in one minute). The denomination 10 EURO and the date 2013 are inscribed within the field. At the four o'clock position, the Europa Star program logo — a small star motif — identifies this coin as part of the pan-European commemorative series. The overall design reflects the artistic conventions of the Monnaie de Paris commemorative series. |
