Andorra's 1990s commemorative silver program was an unusual exercise in soft-power branding for a microstate with no central bank and no independent monetary history to speak of. The Vivaldi issue pairs him with Joan Martí i Alanis, the Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra from 1971 to 2003 — one of the two feudal heads of state whose joint suzerainty over Andorra derives from a paréage treaty signed in 1278.
Vivaldi died in Vienna in 1741, buried in a pauper's grave despite his earlier fame, his manuscripts scattered and largely forgotten until systematic rediscovery in the 1920s.
