| Obverse description | The nickel-brass centre features a dynamic relief of a mountain bike rider in full racing gear, depicted in action descending a rocky, rugged terrain rendered in fine detail. Conifer trees occupy the lower right field, evoking the mountainous landscape of Andorra. The country name 'ANDORRA' is integrated into the rocky landscape in the left field, with the year '2024' appearing to the right. The curved legend 'CAMPIONATS DEL MÓN UCI DE BTT' runs along the upper periphery of the inner disc. The copper-nickel outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union. |

| Additional information |
Andorra hosted the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in 2023 — the first time the event was held there — making this commemorative issue a direct response to that occasion rather than an anticipatory one. The principality's terrain around Vallnord-Pal Arinsal made it a credible host, and the championship drew elite competition across multiple disciplines including downhill and cross-country.
Andorra's euro-format coinage circulates under a monetary agreement with the EU despite the country holding no EU membership, a status formalized only in 2011.
