| Beschrijving keerzijde | At center, a circular gold inlay depicts a male shot putter in dynamic mid-throw stance, rendered in high relief against the polished gold surface. The inlay is set within a bimetallic-style silver surround decorated with four stylized leaf or petal motifs radiating outward from the central disc toward the coin's rim. The curved legend 'XXVII JOCS OLIMPICS' arcs across the upper field, with the year '2000' inscribed below it, referencing the Sydney Summer Olympic Games. |

Andorra's Olympic coinage from this period served a dual purpose: fulfilling the principality's IOC membership obligations while generating hard currency through collector sales, since Andorran circulation coinage was barely a decade old by 1999. The bimetallic construction — silver field with a gold inlay — reflects a late-1990s European mint fashion for novelty composites aimed squarely at the commemorative market rather than any monetary function.
Joan Martí i Alanis, the Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra from 1971 until his death in 2009, appears here in his capacity as one of two co-sovereign heads of state — the other being the French President.
