Andorra's coinage authority operated for decades in a genuinely peculiar legal position — the principality had no central bank and no formal monetary sovereignty, using French francs and Spanish pesetas concurrently until the euro absorbed both. The gold devotional issues that emerged in the 2000s were never intended for circulation; they were struck explicitly for the collector market, underwritten by agreements with the French and Spanish mints, and carry no practical monetary function despite their nominal face value.
KM#288 is part of a broader Marian series issued across several years, each tied to specific iconographic traditions in Andorran Catholicism rooted in the co-principality's ecclesiastical governance under the Bishop of Urgell.
