| Obverse description | The obverse features a richly detailed field populated with low-relief depictions of all twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, radiating outward in segmented panels separated by diagonal lines, with the corresponding years (2018 through 2029) inscribed along the outer rim. At centre right, a raised circular cartouche in a contrasting brushed finish depicts two traditional Chinese ceremonial vessels or incense burners rendered in fine relief, surmounted by the state monogram 'RF' and framed by the legend 'CALENDRIER CHINOIS' along the lower arc. The denomination '10 EURO' is inscribed in bold letters to the upper left of the cartouche, integrating the face value organically into the overall composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic, high-relief effigy of a rearing horse depicted in three-quarter perspective, its forelegs raised and mane flowing, rendered with exceptional sculptural detail. Behind the horse, a circular medallion bears the Chinese character '馬' (mǎ, meaning 'horse') in incuse script against a textured ground, itself surrounded by an elaborately engraved border of stylised floral and foliate motifs evoking traditional Chinese decorative arts. The arc legend 'ANNEE DU CHEVAL' is inscribed along the upper left rim, with the year '2026' positioned to the upper right, denoting the Chinese lunar year of the Horse. |
