| Reverse description | A perched European Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is depicted in high relief at the centre of the coin, rendered as a large prismatic insert with a faceted, geometric holographic surface that shimmers in orange, amber, and brown tones characteristic of the species' distinctive red breast. Incuse engraved foliage — stylised leaves and a branch — frame the bird in the lower and lateral fields, while a panoramic Andorran mountain landscape with a village and birds in flight is rendered in low relief across the upper field. The legend OCELLS D'ANDORRA (Birds of Andorra) arcs along the lower periphery in raised Latin lettering. |

| Additional information |
Andorra's wildlife coin series, produced under licensing arrangements that have long made the principality a prolific issuer of collector-targeted silver, draws no authority from any circulating monetary tradition — Andorra used French francs and Spanish pesetas until the euro arrived in 2002, and has never issued coins for general circulation. The 5 Diners denomination exists purely as a numismatic fiction, legal tender in name only under Andorran law, with face value bearing no relationship to metal content or market reality.
