Rarity on the Cartamoneta catalogue scale: C3 extremely common, C2 very common, C common, NC not common, then R to R5. Italic grades come from the catalogue itself and mark the runs it does not price. Quotations are for gem uncirculated banknotes (GEM-UNC).
How to read the table
It holds the 126 records the cleaned extract keeps for this denomination. Twenty rows load at a time; the search box and the filters always run over the whole list, so a match is found first and the rows around it are loaded afterwards.
Rarity uses the scale printed in the Cartamoneta catalogue, from C3 (extremely common) up to R5 (of the highest rarity). It is derived from how far a run sits above the ordinary level for this denomination, because the ratio between face value and catalogue reference is not comparable across denominations. Where the catalogue supplies its own grade instead of a price, that grade is shown in italics and no quotation appears.
Every quotation is for a gem uncirculated banknote — GEM-UNC, the top of the grading scale — and for no other condition. It is the Cartamoneta.com reference: the catalogue figure with the published mark-up for this denomination, rounded up to the next step. From a threshold upwards — €500 on the 5 euro, €750 on the 10, €1,000 on the 20, €1,500 on the 50, €1,750 on the 100 — the mark-up gives way to a 10% reduction, because high-value examples are placed by negotiation rather than at a premium; the 200 and 500 euro are never reduced. A circulated example is worth less, often much less. The figure is an indicative reference and not an offer, an appraisal or a statement about the condition of any particular banknote.
The Europa 10 euro entered circulation on 23 September 2014, a year and a half after the 5. Thirteen printing works appear in its catalogue — more than for any other denomination in the series.
The widest set of printing works
Two Oberthur Fiduciaire sites, two Giesecke+Devrient sites, Valora, Bundesdruckerei, Enschedé and the central-bank works of Italy, Ireland, France, Spain, Austria and Greece all appear. Bulgaria is present as a country association well before the country adopted the euro, because the Sofia works printed for other issuers.
That breadth makes the printing-works filter the most useful control on this page. Selecting a single works usually reduces the table to a readable handful of rows.
Draghi and Lagarde only
This denomination behaves exactly as the series is documented: Draghi from the 2014 launch, Lagarde from late 2019 onwards, and nothing else. Where a row lacks a reference price, the catalogue has substituted its own rarity code, which the table keeps in italics.
The 10 euro shares the 54-note sheet with the 20 euro, so position codes stop at I6 for both.
Where the identification code sits on the 10 euro
Thirteen works and two signatures: this is the denomination where filtering pays off most.
