| Reverse description | The reverse displays a vibrant full-color applied enamel scene depicting an extreme snowboarder in dynamic action, clad in a bright orange and yellow suit, riding a multicolored board across a snow-covered alpine slope. A yellow helicopter hovers in the upper field against a backdrop of blue mountain peaks rendered in polychrome color printing. The entire colored vignette is set within a recessed circular field framed by a raised silver border. The inscription XTREME appears along the lower margin in raised Latin letters, with the X rendered in red enamel accent, referencing the extreme sports theme of the series. |

| Additional information |
Andorra's Olympic-themed silver program in the mid-2000s was driven largely by the principality's ambitions to raise its international profile through numismatic exports — coins like this were never intended for domestic circulation and were sold primarily to collectors abroad. Andorra did not field a snowboarding competitor at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, which gives this issue a somewhat aspirational quality rather than a commemorative one in any strict sense.
