| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized composition centered on an ancient Greek warrior helmet rendered in relief against a mirror-polished field, flanked by an olive branch to the left. Below the helmet, the Greek state coat of arms — a white cross on a blue shield within an olive wreath — occupies the lower central field. The denomination numeral '10' appears prominently to the lower left, with the currency legend 'ΕΥΡΩ' to the right. The circular legend 'ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ' arcs along the upper periphery in Greek script, with a small mint fleur-de-lis mark visible in the right field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed panoramic view of the Athens Acropolis with the Parthenon prominently rendered in the right middle ground, set above rocky terrain with cypress trees in the foreground. Above the architectural scene, an abstract swirling motif incorporating an olive branch radiates across the upper field. The circular legend 'XIII SPECIAL OLYMPICS W.S.G. ATHENS 2011' arcs along the periphery. In the central field, an inscribed quotation reads: 'As we hope for the best in them, hope is reborn in us', attributed below to 'Founder of Special Olympics'. The year '2011' is incorporated within the peripheral legend. |
