| Beschrijving voorzijde | The quartered coat of arms of Andorra occupies the central field, rendered in fine detail and enclosed within a semi-circular ornamental border. The heraldic shield displays the traditional quarterings associated with the co-principality. The encircling legend reads PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA and the motto VIRTVS VNITA FORTIOR, with the denomination 25 D. and the date 2008 also inscribed around the design. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a richly detailed depiction of the Three Wise Men, the Biblical Magi, journeying across a desert landscape mounted on horses and a camel, rendered in a medieval manuscript-inspired style. The three crowned figures are shown in procession moving from left to right, bearing gifts and staffs, their robes adorned with ornate decorative patterns. A radiant star of Bethlehem shines in the upper right field, its rays extending across the scene, while a constellation of six-pointed stars fills the upper left field. The undulating ground line at the base suggests sand dunes, evoking the desert setting of the Nativity narrative. The composition fills the entire field to the inner border, with no peripheral legend, allowing the intricate figural scene to dominate. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra's gold coinage has long been tied to its unusual constitutional arrangement — the country's two co-princes, the Bishop of Urgell and the French head of state, reflect a medieval ecclesiastical compromise that persisted into the modern era and gives religious themes on Andorran issues a pointed institutional logic rather than mere decorative convention. The Episcopal co-principality traces directly to a 1278 paréage agreement.
KM#275 belongs to a broader Andorran biblical series produced in the mid-2000s through 2008, struck in limited quantities primarily for the collector market.
