| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the upper dome and facade of the Mausoleum of Mărășești, a monumental World War I memorial, rendered in high relief. In the lower central field, a heroic sculptural frieze shows an armored angel flanked by soldiers and mourning figures, with the Romanian coat of arms displayed on a shield below. The denomination '10 LEI' appears prominently across the mid-field in bold raised lettering, while the date '2017' is inscribed at the base. The country name 'ROMANIA' arcs along the upper rim in large capital letters. The composition blends architectural and sculptural elements to evoke national commemoration and sacrifice. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold right-facing bust of King Ferdinand I of Romania, depicted in military uniform with a peaked field helmet, rendered in sharp high relief against a mirror-polished field. The king's beard and facial features are finely detailed, with his military rank insignia visible on the collar. His name 'FERDINAND I' is engraved in small capitals along the lower truncation. Arcing around the upper and right periphery, the legend 'MARASTI-MARASESTI-OITUZ-1917' commemorates the three decisive Romanian military victories of World War I. The design combines portrait artistry with historical inscription in a dignified numismatic composition. |
