There are two series of banknotes.
The first series comprises seven different denominations: €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500.
The second series, or Europa series, consists of six denominations ( 5;10;20;50;100;200 ). €500 banknotes will no longer be issued.
They are legal tender throughout the euro area. They feature architectural styles from different periods in Europe's history.

The ten euro note is the second smallest at 127 millimetres (5.0 in) × 67 millimetres (2.6 in) with a red colour scheme. All bank notes depict bridges and arches/doorways in a different historical European style; the ten euro note shows the Romanesque era (between the 11th and 12th centuries). Although Robert Kalina's original designs were intended to show real monuments, for political reasons the bridge and art are merely hypothetical examples of the architectural era.
A new series, similar to the current one, was released on 23 September 2014.
Size: 127 x 67 mm
Colour: Red
Architectural style: Romanesque
Date of issuance: 23 September 2014
