| Description : The coin commemorates the 25th anniversary of the signing
of the customs agreement with the European Union and was designed by the Ateliers de Gravure of the Monnaie de Paris.
It shows the outline of the Principality and within it the coat of arms of Andorra with the Latin motto "VIRTVS VNITA
FORTIOR" (Virtus unita fortior, United Virtue is stronger). Shown on the coat of arms is the mitre and crosier of the
Bishop of Urgell, Prince of Andorra together with three stakes of the coat of arms of Foix and four of Catalonia
respectively, and the two cows taken from the flag of the Counts of Béarn. Below them are two arrows running in
opposite directions symbolise the customs agreement between Andorra and the EU, and are enscribed "1990 ANDORRA" and "2015".
The semi‐circular two‐line inscription running from the top to the middle of the coin reads
"25è aniversari de la Signatura de l'Acord Duaner amb la Unió Europea" (25 anniversary of signing
the customs agreement with the European Union). Andorran coins are minted alternately in the countries of the Princes of
Andorra; in 2015 this was the turn of the Monnaie de Paris in Pessac. Due to organisational problems, the coin could
not be issued until 2016. |
