| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a gilt effigy of Kuan Yin, the East Asian bodhisattva of mercy and compassion, rendered in high relief and selectively gold-plated against a mirror-polished field. The deity stands in a graceful contrapposto pose atop a lotus pedestal, draped in flowing robes and adorned with elaborate jewelry, holding a ritual vessel, with a large gilt halo radiating behind her head. The figure is flanked on both sides by intricately engraved floral and foliate scroll borders in silver, enhancing the ornamental character of the composition. The inscription KUAN YIN appears in raised letters along the lower edge of the rectangular field. |

Andorra's use of collector coinage as a revenue stream accelerated sharply after the 2008 financial crisis strained the principality's finances. The Kuan Yin issue belongs to a wave of thematically unmoored bullion and commemorative pieces — deities, wildlife, foreign landmarks — produced specifically for export sale to Asian collector markets, where demand for silver issues featuring Buddhist and Taoist iconography was strong in the early 2010s.
