| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized heraldic eagle rendered in an archaic, line-engraved style with outstretched wings spread broadly across the field, its body ornamented with intricate decorative detailing reminiscent of medieval manuscript illustration. Small scrollwork ornaments appear above and below the eagle, framing the central motif. The circumferential legend reads 250e ANIVERSARI DE LA PUBLICACIO DEL MANUAL DIGEST along the upper arc, with the commemorative date range 1748-1998 positioned in the lower exergue area. The entire composition is executed in high-relief proof finish against a mirror-polished field. |

| Additional information |
The Manual Digest of 1748, compiled by Antoni Fiter i Rossell, was the first systematic codification of Andorran customary law — assembled not by a government in the modern sense but by a private citizen attempting to impose legal order on a co-principality that had operated on unwritten tradition since the 1278 Pareatge. Andorra had no formal mint of its own for most of its history, relying on French and Spanish currency in daily commerce, which makes its late-twentieth-century commemorative program the primary vehicle through which the country has ever expressed numismatic identity.
