Reverse description The reverse displays the denomination '10 EURO' in large bold numerals at the center of the field, flanked by stylized laurel sprays. An octagonal inner border frames the central design, with the date '2012' inscribed to the right. The French Republican motto 'LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ' is distributed around the perimeter, running along the inner border in a continuous legend. The geometric arrangement and clean typographic style are characteristic of the Monnaie de Paris regional series issued in 2012.

Additional information

Issued as part of the Monnaie de Paris "Régions françaises" series, this piece represents Réunion's status as an outre-mer department — fully integrated into the French Republic and the eurozone, despite sitting in the Indian Ocean some 9,000 kilometers from metropolitan France. The series ran across multiple years and covered all French regions, with the outre-mer territories included deliberately to reinforce their constitutional equivalence to mainland departments.

The .500 fineness is characteristic of the lower-tier collector issues in this series, distinguishing them from the higher-value strikes in .925 silver produced concurrently.
