The portrait of Her Majesty the Queen can be seen surrounded by dots and 12 stars. Around the edge, beginning to the left of the centre, the following can be seen: the words "Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands", the mark of the Royal Dutch Mint, the year and the mark of the National Mint Director.

Mint mark: Caduceus (Mercury's wand, a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings), the logo of the Royal Dutch Mint (Utrecht, the Netherlands)

Mint master mark: Sailboat (Maarten Brouwer)

Engraver: Bruno Ninaber van Eyben

The coin’s numeral of “10” euro-cent has an Orange color, symbolic for the Dutch National team whose colors are also orange and the name of reigning royal dynasty (Orange-Nassau).

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the left side of the coin.

12 stars are located on the left side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “0” in “10.”
