| Obverse description | The obverse features the crowned coat of arms of Andorra centrally placed in the field, depicting the quartered escutcheon with the traditional heraldic symbols. The denomination '20 D.' appears to the lower left of the shield, with the date '2000' inscribed below. A circular legend surrounds the design reading 'JOAN D.M. BISBE D'URGELL I PRINCEP D'ANDORRA', identifying the co-prince Joan Martí i Alanis in his capacity as Bishop of Urgell and Prince of Andorra. The overall design is rendered in a clean, classical style with the lettering evenly spaced around the periphery. |

| Additional information |
Andorra's Olympic commemorative program in the late 1990s produced a series of bimetallic issues that were technically ambitious for a microstate with no domestic mint — all were struck under contract at foreign facilities. The gold inlay on this piece is a genuine 18-karat insert, not plating, which made the production runs expensive relative to the tiny principality's commemorative budget and kept mintages correspondingly low.
