| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized world map rendered across a gridded globe, occupying the central field and evoking a cartographic aesthetic. Superimposed over the globe in large, decorative lettering is the Catalan inscription LES MERAVELLES DEL MON (The Wonders of the World), arranged across three lines. Below the globe, the denomination 10 D. flanks the small coat of arms of Andorra at center, with the date 2009 inscribed beneath. The legend PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA curves along the lower rim. The design is executed in a clean, modern engraving style with a broad milled border. |

| Additional information |
Andorra's 10 Diners program of the 2000s relied heavily on licensed world heritage themes to generate collector revenue — a fiscal strategy for a microstate with no central bank and a currency arrangement that left commemorative silver as one of its few independent monetary products. The Great Wall issue sits in a long run of these types, struck at contracted European mints rather than any domestic facility, since Andorra has never operated its own mint.
KM#427 is catalogued without a recorded mintage ceiling that distinguishes it from the broader series run.
