| Additional information |
Andorra had no formal coinage of its own until the 1960s, operating for centuries under a peculiar co-principality arrangement — shared sovereignty between the Bishop of Urgell and the French head of state — that left it entirely dependent on French francs and Spanish pesetas in daily commerce. The 1965 issues, of which this is one, were among the earliest pieces struck under Andorran authority and were produced primarily for collectors rather than circulation.
The X# prefix in Krause places it outside the standard numismatic canon — a non-circulating legal tender issue struck before Andorra established a regularized mint program in the 1980s.
