| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely rendered depiction of the Holy Family in high relief occupies the entire reverse field. The Christ Child is shown in the foreground with a circular nimbus, his hands clasped in prayer, while the Virgin Mary stands to the right and Saint Joseph to the left, both bearing halos above their heads. The figures are rendered in a devotional, classical style with smooth modeling of drapery and serene facial expressions. The plain field surrounding the group enhances the sculptural quality of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Andorra's coinage authority operated under a peculiar legal arrangement well into the 2000s — the co-princes (the Bishop of Urgell and the French President) held nominal sovereignty, but collector issues like this one were produced largely as revenue instruments for a microstate with no central bank and a heavily tourism-dependent economy. The Holy Family subject reflects the Episcopal co-prince's enduring influence over Andorran civic identity, the church having administered the valleys since a treaty with the Count of Foix in 1278.
