| Obverse description | A figural scene in high relief occupies the central field, depicting three figures evocative of Belle Époque society: a seated woman in an elaborate gown and jewellery, accompanied by two standing male figures rendered in the background. The composition references the fictional character Odette de Crécy from Marcel Proust's 'À la recherche du temps perdu.' The name 'Odette de Crécy' is inscribed in elegant cursive script in the upper right field, with the Republican monogram 'RF' (République Française) positioned to the lower right. |

To the right, the denomination '10 EURO' is prominently displayed, accompanied by Proust's facsimile signature beneath it. The date '2013' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative dots, with a mint mark visible at the lower left of the field. |
