The Europa series, of which this coin is a part, is rooted in a tradition of collaboration between several eurozone member countries, each issuing coins representing national cultural and historical themes. In the case of this French issue, the chosen theme is the Romantic and Modern era, a pivotal period in France's cultural and artistic history, covering in particular the 19th century with its literary, pictorial and musical upheavals.

The face value of 10 euros is inscribed on the coin, giving it legal tender status in France. All the technical and aesthetic characteristics of this issue reflect the traditional craftsmanship of the Monnaie de Paris, one of the oldest monetary institutions in the world, whose BE-quality productions are particularly acclaimed by collectors.
