1.25 Euro 'Gall Fer' Western capercaillie

Andorra began issuing circulation coinage denominated in euros only in 2014, following a monetary agreement with the EU signed in 2011 — notably without ever being an EU member state. The fractional denominations above one euro, including this 1.25 euro piece, have no equivalent anywhere else in the eurozone and exist purely because Andorra's agreement permitted it to define its own non-standard circulation values.

The Western capercaillie has been functionally extinct in Andorra's Pyrenean forests for decades, its disappearance driven by habitat fragmentation and ski infrastructure development.
