| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed three-quarter perspective view of the Casa de la Vall, Andorra's historic parliamentary building, a stone-built medieval structure with a distinctive round turret, pitched roof, and arched doorways rendered in careful relief. The denomination 10 CENTIMS appears as a legend along the upper arc of the coin, while the building's name CASA DE LA VALL is inscribed in a curved legend along the lower portion of the field. The architectural details of the rubble-stone masonry and windows are rendered with fine engraving. |

| Additional information |
Andorra issued its own coinage sporadically through the late 20th and early 21st centuries despite having no central bank and using the French franc and Spanish peseta — and later the euro — as de facto currencies. The 2004 series, of which this is a part, was produced primarily as legal tender for collectors rather than circulation, filling a gap before Andorra's formal monetary agreement with the EU took effect in 2011.
The Casa de la Vall, the historic parliamentary building in Andorra la Vella, served as the seat of the General Council from 1580 until 2011, when the legislature relocated.
