| Additional information |
Andorra had no formal mint of its own in 1984 and contracted production of this series to the Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre in Madrid. The issue commemorates the Los Angeles Games, which were themselves politically fraught — the Soviet-led boycott, retaliation for the U.S.-led boycott of Moscow four years earlier, kept 14 nations away. Joan Martí i Alanis, the Bishop of Urgell, co-signed the issue in his capacity as one of Andorra's two feudal co-princes, a constitutional arrangement dating to a 1278 paréage that has never been formally dissolved.
