| Beschrijving keerzijde | A three-quarter facing portrait bust of Joseph Ratzinger as Cardinal occupies the central field, depicting him as a relatively young man wearing clerical vestments with a pectoral cross visible at the lower right. The legend JOSEPH RATZINGER arcs across the upper field, while the inscription CARDENAL 27.6.1977 curves along the lower field, commemorating the date of his elevation to the College of Cardinals. The portrait is rendered in a naturalistic engraving style with fine detail in the facial features and attire. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra issued coinage under episcopal authority for centuries, but these early 21st-century pieces occupy a peculiar legal position: struck without EU membership and without a formal monetary agreement at the time, they circulated alongside euros despite having no official standing under European monetary law. The arrangement was eventually regularized, but coins from this window exist in a gray zone of monetary legitimacy.
Benedict XVI's pontificate began in April 2005, making this a first-year issue under his co-princeship.
