The Andorra Eagle is an investment coin from Andorra with a fineness of 999. It has been issued in silver since 2008 , in gold since 2002 and in 2014 the Andorra Eagle also appeared in copper .
The silver coins are issued with a face value of 1, 30, 100 and 200 diners , the gold coins with a face value of 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 diners and the copper coin with a face value of 1 cèntime. The diner is a so-called pseudo currency that Andorra has been using for commemorative coins since 2002. The reason is that, until 2014, Andorra only used the euro de facto as an official means of payment, ie it was a "passive" euro user. The Andorra Eagle is an agency edition . The 1 ounce copper from 2014 was minted by the Royal Canadian Mint .
The value side of the coin shows an eagle with spread wings sitting on a rock. The picture side shows the four-part Andorran coat of arms with miter and crook of the Bishop of Urgell , two cows and three or four stakes.
