Obverse description The Greek coat of arms — a heraldic shield bearing a white cross on blue, encircled by a laurel wreath — is depicted in a small central medallion set against a richly textured field entirely covered with incuse geometric figures, diagrams, and mathematical notations evoking the theorems of Euclidean geometry. The central medallion is rendered with a dark oxidized background, creating strong contrast with the polished coat of arms. The circular legend surrounding the coat of arms within the medallion reads ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΚΡΑΤΙΑ above and 10 ΕΥΡΩ below, both in Greek characters.

Reverse description A bearded bust of the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid is shown in three-quarter left-facing profile, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and beard. To the left of the effigy, a dark oxidized almond-shaped cartouche contains the legend ΕΥΚΛΕΙΔΗΣ arched above, the dates 325-270 π.Χ. in the field, the mint mark of the National Mint of Greece (ΣTAM) below, and the year of issue 2023 at the base. The background of the coin field is decorated with an intricate pattern of geometric figures and diagrams consistent with those appearing on the obverse, unifying the overall design.
