| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a view of the Casa de la Vall, Andorra's historic parliament building, rendered in fine relief at centre, with its characteristic Romanesque stone tower and adjoining structure clearly delineated. Twelve five-pointed stars, symbolising the European Union, are arranged around the periphery of the field. The country name ANDORRA appears vertically along the right side of the design in incuse Latin lettering, accompanied by the year of issue below it. The composition is the work of Moles Disseny and reflects a restrained, architecturally precise artistic style characteristic of contemporary Eurozone coinage. |

Andorra only gained the formal right to issue euro-series coinage through a Monetary Agreement with the European Union signed in June 2011, with circulation pieces not reaching the public until 2014. Prior to this, the principality had no official currency of its own — Spanish pesetas and French francs had circulated by convention for decades, and later euros by default, without Andorra striking a single denominated coin for general use.
The agreement capped Andorra's annual mintage volumes, a clause negotiated specifically to prevent the micro-state from flooding collector markets the way San Marino and Vatican City issues occasionally have.
