| Reverse description | The denomination 10 EURO is prominently displayed in the central field, flanked symmetrically by branches of laurel and oak, traditional symbols of honor and civic virtue. Three hexagonal motifs — evoking the hexagonal shape of France — surround the central device. The French republican motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ is inscribed along the upper legend, with the year of issue 2012 appearing in the field. |

| Additional information |
Part of the 2012 "Régions de France" series, in which the Monnaie de Paris issued a coin for each of metropolitan France's then-22 administrative regions. The series used .500 fineness rather than the more common .925, a deliberate production economy that kept retail prices accessible while maintaining legal tender status under French monetary law.
