| Obverse description | Front-facing bust of Salvador Dalí rendered in fine relief at centre, with the artist depicted in a suit and tie. The legend ESPAÑA arcs along the left field, and DALÍ 2004 runs vertically along the right field. Small surrealist motifs — including stylised insects or crustaceans — appear around the lower portion of the bust, evoking Dalí's distinctive iconographic vocabulary. The design is executed in a contemporary engraving style befitting the commemorative nature of the issue. |

| Reverse description | Faithful reproduction of Salvador Dalí's celebrated 1949 painting 'Leda Atómica', depicting the seated nude figure of Leda accompanied by a swan, both elements suspended above a tiered pedestal without making contact, in reference to Dalí's nuclear-mystical period. The large numeral '10' appears prominently in the left field, with the denomination legend EURO below and to the right. The crowned mint mark of the Royal Mint of Spain and the year 2003 appear in the upper right field. Surrealist symbolic elements, including an ankh-like motif, are visible in the lower left field. |
