| Obverse description | The upper field features an ornate hot-air balloon gondola rendered in fine relief, carrying two passengers dressed in 18th-century attire, with the balloon's rigging and canopy visible above. Flanking the basket are decorative scrolled elements evoking the Montgolfier era. The denomination '10' appears prominently in large numerals in the lower central field, with 'FRANCS' inscribed beneath and the date '1983' in the exergue. The circular legend 'REPVBLIQVE FRANCAISE' runs along the periphery, with two small mint marks flanking the lower legend. |
