| Obverse description | The obverse presents a stylised geometric composition illustrating the Pythagorean theorem, depicting three squares arranged along the sides of a right triangle, rendered with fine concentric square patterning that fills the field. The right triangle at the centre of the design is clearly delineated, with the two smaller squares on the legs and the larger square on the hypotenuse. The Greek state arms — a small crowned shield bearing a cross — appear in the centre-left field. The legend ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ is inscribed in two lines in the upper left, and the denomination 10 ΕΥΡΩ is placed along the lower rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a sculptural portrait bust of Pythagoras occupying the right portion of the field, rendered in high relief in the manner of an ancient marble effigy, depicting the philosopher bearded and wearing a cap.

The date 2013 is inscribed in the upper right field. The legend ΠΥΘΑΓΟΡΑΣ Ο ΣΑΜΙΟΣ 6ος ΑΙΩΝΑΣ π.Χ. curves along the lower rim, identifying the subject as Pythagoras of Samos of the 6th century BC. |
