| Reverse description | The left portion of the field bears a facing portrait bust of Jean de La Fontaine, the celebrated French fabulist, rendered with naturalistic detail including his characteristic long curled hair. To the upper left, the legend 'Fables de La Fontaine' arcs in italic script along the inner rim. The denomination '10 EURO' is prominently inscribed in the upper right field. Flanking the portrait to the right is an arrangement of twelve small silhouetted animal figures referencing the creatures from La Fontaine's fables, which also correspond to the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. The date '2014' appears in the lower exergue, flanked by decorative dots. |
