| Additional information |
Andorra has no mint of its own; this piece was almost certainly struck by the Casa de la Moneda in Madrid or a contracted European facility, as was standard practice for Andorran commemorative issues throughout the 1990s. The Atlanta Games series gave the co-principality — a sovereign state without Olympic committee recognition until 1971 — a recurring vehicle for high-weight silver issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.
Joan Martí i Alanis served as Episcopal Co-Prince from 1971 to 2003, the longest such tenure in modern Andorran history.
