| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly stylized, modernist composition of multiple overlapping profile effigies of King Willem-Alexander arranged in a spiraling, pinwheel formation that fills the entire field, evoking motion and multiplicity. The profiles, rendered in clean, continuous outlines, radiate outward from a central vortex, creating a dynamic and contemporary artistic effect. The circular legend reads 'WILLEM-ALEXANDER KONING DER NEDERLANDEN' along the periphery in raised Latin lettering, interrupted by the swirling design elements. The overall aesthetic is distinctly avant-garde, departing from traditional royal portraiture in favor of an abstract, repeated silhouette treatment. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a densely composed scene of multiple athletic figures in dynamic running and hurdling poses, rendered in a stylized, graphic-art idiom, commemorating the legendary Dutch sprinter and hurdler Fanny Blankers-Koen. The figures, depicted in various stages of athletic motion, are arranged across the entire field, creating a sense of energy and competitive spirit. The denomination '10 €' appears at the center of the field in raised numerals. The legend 'FANNY BLANKERS-KOEN' and the date '2018' are inscribed along the inner border, accompanied by a fine milled inner ring. The composition celebrates Blankers-Koen's historic achievements as a four-time Olympic gold medalist at the 1948 London Games. |
