| Obverse description | The crowned coat of arms of Andorra is depicted at center, featuring a quartered shield with the traditional emblems including the mitre and crozier of the Bishop of Urgell and the bars of Catalonia, surmounted by a mural crown. The denomination '10 D.' flanks the shield on either side in the lower field. A circular legend in Catalan surrounds the design along the periphery, with the date 1999 appearing in the lower exergue between two raised dots. |

| Additional information |
The 1999 Nordic Ski World Championships were held in Ramsau am Dachstein, Austria — the first time the event had been staged there. Andorra's participation in the commemorative coin program reflects the principality's long-standing political tradition of issuing silver pieces tied to international sporting events, a practice it leaned on heavily through the 1990s to build a collector coin program essentially from scratch.
Joan Martí i Alanis served as Bishop of Urgell from 1971 to 2003, making him one of the longest-serving of Andorra's Co-Princes in the modern era.
