Eurozone citizens and residents chose the winning design for a new euro coin to commemorate the tenth anniversary of euro banknotes and coins. Nearly 35,000 people voted online for their favourite design out of the five shortlisted by a professional panel of judges. The design competition was open to all citizens across the eurozone.

The winner was Helmut Andexlinger, whose design symbolises the way in which the euro has acquired an unquestionable weight worldwide over the last 10 years and the major role it plays in the life of the ordinary citizen (represented by the people appearing in the design), in trade (the ship), in industry (the factory) and in energy (the wind farms).
