10 Diners Perch

Andorra's commemorative silver program accelerated sharply after 2011, when the principality began issuing coins under its own monetary authority following decades of relying entirely on French and Spanish currency as legal tender. The 10 Diners series targeting wildlife subjects reflects both a domestic branding effort and the broader collector-market economics that make small jurisdictions viable minting operations.

The perch (Perca fluviatilis) is native to the cold-water streams of the Pyrenees. KM#553 belongs to a fish-themed subset within the broader Andorran nature series.
