| Obverse description | The obverse depicts an intimate composition of two youthful figures in close proximity, their foreheads gently touching and eyes closed in a moment of serene togetherness, their clasped hands rendered in fine relief. Both figures are adorned with floral arrangements in their hair, evoking a romantic, naturalistic aesthetic consistent with the broader floral series. The legend REPUBLIK ÖSTERREICH flanks the design, with the denomination 10 EURO and date 2024 inscribed within the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a botanically detailed composition featuring three fully opened violet blossoms (Viola odorata) accompanied by a single flower bud, all rendered with naturalistic precision derived from specimens grown and pressed using a specialist technique rather than conventional illustration. Behind the principal floral grouping, a stylised band of violets extends across the field, providing decorative depth and visual rhythm to the design. The overall composition reflects the Austrian Mint's commitment to botanical accuracy within its flower coin series. |

| Additional information |
Part of Austria's long-running "Enchanted Tales" niobium series, except this one breaks from that format entirely — it's struck in copper rather than the bimetallic niobium/silver construction the series made famous since 2003. The 2024 copper issues represent a deliberate reorientation by Münze Österreich toward more accessible collector price points, a response to sustained demand from younger buyers priced out of the niobium pieces.
KM#3382 is among the earliest catalog entries for this copper subseries, and secondary market pricing remains unsettled.
