The year of issue '2011' is inscribed along the lower edge. The central part features a graphic portrait of the writer Albert Camus. To the left is a five-line quote from the book in French: 'QUAND IL M'ARRIVE QUELQUE CHOSE JE PRÉFÈRE ÊTRE LÀ !', which translates as 'SINCE SOMETHING IS BOUND TO HAPPEN TO ME, I WOULD LIKE TO BE READY'. To the right is the two-line inscription '10 / EURO'. Below is the engraved signature of the writer: 'Albert Camus'.
Obverse
Along the edge of the coin on the left side is the French inscription 'L'ETRANGER', meaning 'THE STRANGER'. In the central part, on the left, there is a rocky shore, a sailing ship, and a bright space above it. On the right is a symbolic depiction of a shadow in the form of a solid 'dark' space, from which the figure of the book's main character is receding. At the bottom center are the symbols 'RF' — the mintmark for France on European Union coins.
