| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a fragment of a Romanesque wall painting from the Church of Santa Coloma, one of Andorra's most important pre-Romanesque religious monuments.

The inscription 'SANTA COLOMA' appears as the primary legend, with the descriptive text 'FRAGMENT PICTÒRIC' (Pictorial Fragment) identifying the artistic source.
