| Additional information |
Andorra lacked a mint of its own and issued no coinage at all until 1982, when the first domestic series appeared — struck entirely under contract by foreign mints. This 1992 piece honors Joan Martí i Alanis, the Bishop of Urgell, one of the two co-princes whose joint sovereignty over Andorra dates to a pareage agreement of 1278. The customs union referenced in the title reflects Andorra's long-running negotiation of its relationship with the European Community, which culminated in a formal customs agreement with the EC that entered into force in July 1991.
