Interesting fact
The coin features an image of a spaceship taking off, surrounded by the words "10 Francs" and "République Française" (French Republic). The spaceship is actually a representation of the Ariane 5 rocket, which was used for the first time in 2000 to launch a satellite into space. This coin was issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Ariane rocket's first launch.
