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.
