| Additional information |
Andorra did not gain full international Olympic recognition in time for the 1988 Seoul Games — the country's National Olympic Committee was only recognized by the IOC in 1975, but Andorra made its Summer Olympic debut at Los Angeles in 1976. The 1988 issue commemorates that ongoing Olympic participation under the authority of Joan Martí i Alanis, the Bishop of Urgell, who co-serves as one of Andorra's two Co-Princes alongside the French President — an arrangement unchanged since 1278.
