| Obverse description | The obverse features a bold modernist graphic design centred on the large stylised inscription 'XXe' spanning the field, referencing the twentieth century. At the centre, a geometric motif composed of concentric circles and intersecting lines evokes a cosmic or atomic symbol. The denomination '10F' appears to the left, and the date '2000' to the right. The legend 'LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE' runs along the lower periphery, with the monogram 'RF' (Republique Francaise) prominently placed at the top of the field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dramatic scene of space exploration, showing an astronaut in a spacesuit floating in the foreground against a detailed rendition of a planetary landscape, with the surface of the Moon or a planet occupying the left portion of the field. Various planets of the solar system are rendered in the background field with schematic detail. The names of all nine planets — MERCURE, VENUS, TERRE, MARS, JUPITER, SATURNE, URANUS, NEPTUNE, and PLUTON — are inscribed along the upper and lower periphery, separated by a central dot, in a circular legend. |
