| Obverse description | The obverse features the quartered coat of arms of Andorra displayed centrally within an ornate baroque cartouche, incorporating the traditional emblems of the four co-princes: the mitre and crozier of the Bishop of Urgell, the vertical stripes of the Count of Foix, the three pallets of the House of Beam, and two rampant bulls. The motto scroll below the shield bears the Latin legend VIRTVS VNITA FORTIOR. The circular border legend PRINCIPAT D'ANDORRA arcs around the upper field, while the denomination 5 D. and the date 2014 appear in the lower field. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a highly detailed, full-color depiction of a perched Eurasian Kingfisher (Alcedo atthis), rendered with vivid blue and orange plumage, clutching a small fish in its bill. The bird is set against a matte silver background featuring a relief map of Europe in the upper left field, a globe in the upper right, and a stylized birdwatcher with a tripod-mounted telescope to the right. The Catalan vernacular name BLAUET appears in raised letters along the left field, while the scientific binomial Alcedo atthis is inscribed in italics in the lower left, and the legend EUROPA arcs along the upper border. |
