| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized olive branch rendered in flowing, linear relief, occupying the central field and evoking the classical Greek tradition of awarding victors with olive wreaths. At the center, the legend ΑΘΗΝΑ 2004 appears above the five interlocked Olympic rings, referencing the Athens 2004 Summer Olympic Games. The denomination 10 ΕΥΡΩ is inscribed along the lower arc in bold Greek characters. Twelve five-pointed stars encircle the design along the raised rim, referencing the flag of the European Union. The overall composition is executed in a modern artistic style befitting the Olympic commemorative series. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts three rhythmic gymnasts in dynamic, high-relief composition against a mirror-polished field, capturing the fluid athleticism of the Olympic discipline. The central figure is shown in a deep split position, arching backward with one arm raised, manipulating a ribbon that curves gracefully upward through the field. Two flanking figures, partially rendered in lower relief, contribute to the sense of movement and choreographic ensemble. The design is unlettered, allowing the sculptural representation of the sport to dominate the entire coin face. The engraving is executed with considerable artistic detail, particularly in the rendering of the athletes' musculature and the flowing ribbon apparatus. |
