| Obverse lettering | JOAN D.M BISBE D'URGELL I PRINCEP D'ANDORRA 10 D. 1992 (Translation: Joan D.M. Bishop of Urgell and Prince of Andorra) |
| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed naturalistic scene depicting a large adult brown bear (Ursus arctos) standing alongside a smaller bear cub in the foreground, both rendered in high relief against a frosted field suggestive of a mountainous Andorran landscape. Stylised pine trees in the upper-right background add depth and context to the wildlife composition. A broad curved band sweeps along the left and lower portions of the field, bearing the Catalan inscription 'LLOAT SIGUEU SENYOR AMB TOTES LES VOSTRES CRIATURES' in incuse lettering, translating as 'Praised be Lord with all your creatures', evoking a Franciscan spiritual theme. The composition references the Pyrenean brown bear, historically native to the region and a symbol of the Andorran natural heritage. The overall design demonstrates skilled engraving with strong contrast between the frosted relief and the mirror-polished fields. |
