Andorra 10 diners Discovery of the New World Ship Clipper silver coin 1994

The 1994 Andorra 10 Dinars silver coin is a remarkable commemorative issue dedicated to the Discovery of the New World, a turning point in global history. Struck in proof quality, it combines artistry and symbolism with outstanding minting precision. The obverse depicts a magnificent three-masted sailing ship (clipper or caravel) navigating through stylized waves. Above, a radiant compass rose points to exploration, while a cherub with wings and a trumpet symbolizes divine guidance and the spirit of discovery. The Catalan inscription “A LA DESCOBERTA D’UN NOU MÓN” translates as “To the Discovery of a New World”, emphasizing the historic voyage of 1492 that reshaped continents. The reverse presents the coat of arms of Andorra, crowned and quartered with the bishop’s mitre and staff, the Catalonia stripes, the Foix pallets, and the Béarn cows. Alongside runs the inscription “JOAN D.M. BISBE D’URGELL I PRINCEP D’ANDORRA”, affirming the principality’s sovereignty. The denomination 10 D. and year 1994 appear prominently below. This coin is both a celebration of exploration and a testament to Andorra’s tradition of issuing culturally significant numismatics, making it a highly collectible piece for history and maritime enthusiasts alike.
