The stylized federal eagle with the `10 EURO` face value on the left and the twelve stars of the European Union below. The name of the state `BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND` (Federal Republic of Germany) and the year `2015` are inscribed on the upper edge of the scroll. Next to the right leg of the eagle is the Berlin mint mark with the letter `A`. Below the face value, the words `SILBER 625` (silver 625‰) so as not to confuse this coin with the cupronickel one.
