Andorra 10 diners Joan D.M. Bisbe D'Urgell Crowned Arms silver coin 1984

The Principality of Andorra struck in 1984 this classic 10 diners silver coin, honoring its co-prince Joan Martí Alanis, Bishop of Urgell (Joan D. M. Bisbe d’Urgell). On the obverse, the coin features a left-facing bust of the bishop wearing his ecclesiastical headgear, encircled by the legend JOAN D. M. BISBE D’URGELL. This portrait emphasizes Andorra’s unique co-principality system, in which the Bishop of Urgell shares sovereignty. The reverse displays the crowned coat of arms of Andorra, supported by two nude male figures symbolizing strength and guardianship. The shield itself is quartered with the traditional emblems: the episcopal mitre, vertical stripes, cows, and the arms of Foix, representing Andorra’s deep historical ties. The legend PRINCEP DE LES VALLS D’ANDORRA runs along the edge, with denomination 10 D. and the year 1984 below. Struck in silver, this issue connects political history with numismatic artistry, making it a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Andorran heritage and European crown coinage.
