| Obverse description | A finely detailed female figure rendered in high relief occupies the central field, her eyes closed in serene repose as she cradles a marigold bloom in her cupped hands. Her flowing hair fans outward across the field, intertwined with delicately engraved butterflies and blossoms in an Art Nouveau-inspired composition. The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH arcs along the left periphery, while the denomination 10 EURO appears at lower right, and the date 2022 is inscribed at upper right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a naturalistic, botanically precise depiction of the marigold (Calendula officinalis) in high relief, featuring two fully open flower heads on slender stems accompanied by elongated leaves rendered with fine surface texture. A third partially open bud appears to the right. The left and lower portions of the field display the copper relief botanical study, while the upper right quadrant transitions to a finely engraved lace-like floral pattern in matte finish, creating a striking contrast between raised sculptural and incised decorative elements. The field is otherwise unlettered, allowing the floral motif to dominate the design. |

| Additional information |
Part of the Austrian Mint's "Blumenkinder" (Flower Children) series, this issue belongs to a collector-focused program pairing botanical subjects with enamel-finish copper planchets — a format the Austrian Mint has refined over successive annual releases to compete in the crowded European commemorative market. The marigold, or Tagetes, carries a long association with Day of the Dead observances in Mexico, though in the Alpine tradition it signals the end of summer cattle drives.
KM#3345 was struck as a non-circulating legal tender piece with no realistic transactional role — the copper composition and face value bear no meaningful relationship to production cost.
