Andorra issued this coin in the run-up to the 1992 Barcelona Games, leveraging the Olympic licensing framework that allowed small non-IOC-member territories to produce commemorative issues provided they met fineness and royalty agreement terms. The .585 fineness — 14-karat — is notably lower than the .900 gold used by most Olympic commemorative programs of the period, a deliberate cost-reduction choice that kept the coin accessible to a broader collector market without straying outside technical legitimacy.
Joan Martí i Alanis served as Bishop of Urgell from 1971 to 2003, making him co-prince of Andorra for over three decades — one of the longest tenures in that peculiarly medieval office.
