| Additional information |
Andorra has no central bank and issued no coinage of its own until 2014, when it finally gained the right to mint euro-denominated coins under a monetary agreement with the EU — an arrangement that took over a decade of negotiation after the country adopted the euro unilaterally in 1999. The 1.25 euro denomination is peculiar by any standard; it exists outside the conventional euro series entirely and circulates only within Andorra, issued specifically to accommodate local pricing customs and the demands of a tourism-heavy microstate economy.
The Cross of Seven Arms references a symbol rooted in Andorran parish heraldry.
