| Additional information |
Andorra's legal authority to strike gold coinage derives from its unusual co-principality structure, in which the French head of state serves as one of two co-princes — making Napoleon Bonaparte, as First Consul and later Emperor, a historical co-prince of Andorra. This piece belongs to a collector-oriented series exploiting that constitutional quirk rather than any circulation need.
