| Reverse description | A World War I biplane is depicted in large relief dominating the upper field, flying above a ground combat scene. In the lower portion, infantrymen advance across a rugged battlefield while two early armored tanks are shown in action on either side of the composition, evoking the mechanized warfare of 1917. The denomination '10 EURO' appears prominently in the upper right field, and the curved legend 'LA GUERRE MODERNE' arcs along the upper border. The centennial dates '1917' and '2017' are inscribed along the lower exergue. |

Part of the Monnaie de Paris "Masterpieces of Museums" series, this piece was issued in partnership with the Musée de l'Armée in Paris. The museum's collection spans French military history from the medieval period through the twentieth century, and the collaboration was designed to draw numismatic attention to holdings that most visitors walk past without stopping.
KM#2377 is a collector issue with no circulation mandate — produced purely for the commemorative market at a controlled mintage.
