| Opschrift voorzijde | PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA VIRTVS VNITA FORTIOR 15 D. 2012 (Translation: Principality of Andorra United virtue is stronger) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse reproduces in polychrome color the painting 'Virgin and Child with Two Angels' by the Florentine Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, faithfully rendered within the irregular rectangular field. The pictorial scene is flanked symmetrically by classical female caryatid columns, emphasizing the Renaissance artistic theme. The legend 'ART I RENAIXEMENT' appears in the field, identifying the thematic series, while 'SANDRO BOTTICELLI' attributes the depicted masterwork to its creator. The overall composition merges numismatic craft with fine art reproduction in a distinctly shaped silver planchet. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra's coinage authority — operating under the unusual arrangement of two co-princes, the Bishop of Urgell and the President of France — has issued collector silver on ecclesiastical themes with some regularity, reflecting the principality's historically close ties to the Catholic Church. The co-prince arrangement dates to a 1278 paréage and has never been formally dissolved.
KM#328 belongs to a broader series drawing on Romanesque and Gothic devotional art from the Pyrenean region, where Andorra sits between two traditions of medieval Christian iconography.
