| Beschrijving voorzijde | The central field displays the quartered coat of arms of Andorra — featuring the episcopal mitre and crozier of the Bishop of Urgell and the four bars of Catalonia — surmounted by a mural crown. The denomination '20 D.' and the designation 'ECU' appear in the lower field, flanking the shield, with the date '1996' inscribed below. The circular legend reads 'JOAN · D.M. · BISBE · D'URGELL · I · PRINCEP · D'ANDORRA', identifying Joan Martí i Alanis as co-prince of Andorra in his capacity as Bishop of Urgell. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra's coinage authority issued this piece during the episcopate of Joan Martí i Alanis, one of the two co-princes under Andorra's unusual feudal diarchy — a constitutional arrangement dating to the 1278 Paréage treaty that split sovereignty between the Bishop of Urgell and the Count of Foix (later inherited by the French head of state). The Charlemagne theme reflects the Carolingian foundation myth central to Andorran national identity, though historians debate whether the 843 grant attributed to him was ever real.
The bimetallic construction — sterling silver body with a gold inlay of different fineness — was technically demanding for its era and made this a prestige issue from the outset rather than a circulating piece.
