Andorra's coinage authority issued this piece during the pontificate of Benedict XVI, whose election in April 2005 marked the first German pope since Adrian VI — a Dutchman elected in 1522. Andorra's unique co-princeship, jointly held by the Bishop of Urgell and the French head of state, gives the Catholic Church a direct constitutional role in the territory, making papal portraiture on Andorran coinage a matter of state protocol rather than mere commemoration.
