Andorra's coinage authority issued a string of bimetallic commemoratives around the turn of the millennium, and this piece — struck for the Sydney Games — belongs to that run. The gold inlay technique was fashionable among small European minting programs in the late 1990s, offering a premium product to the collector market at a time when Andorra had no domestic mint and contracted production to foreign facilities. Joan Martí i Alanis, the Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra from 1971 to 2003, appears as co-issuing authority alongside the French Co-Prince — the dual-suzerainty arrangement that has governed the principality since the Paréage of 1278.
