| Obverse description | The bimetallic center features a highly detailed, naturalistic portrait of a bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus) rendered in high relief, depicting the bird's head in three-quarter right-facing profile, with fine feather detailing and a prominent hooked beak. The golden-toned nickel-brass inner disc contrasts effectively with the silver-toned copper-nickel outer ring. The inscription ANDORRA appears in bold raised letters in the lower central field, with the date 2025 directly beneath, separated by a horizontal line. Twelve raised stars encircle the design along the outer ring, in accordance with the standard European Union coinage format. |

| Additional information |
Andorra joined the eurozone via a monetary agreement with the EU in 2011, but did not begin issuing its own euro coins for circulation until 2014 — making its commemorative series among the youngest in the currency union. The bearded vulture, Gypaetus barbatus, has a small but monitored breeding population in the Pyrenees, where Andorra's high-altitude terrain provides critical nesting habitat.
