Andorra 2019 600 Years of the Earth Council
600 years of the Council
of the Land
The design commemorates
the 600th anniversary of the creation of the Consell de la Terra (Council of
the Land). It was a representative body created in 1419, predecessor of the
Consell General (General Council), the parliament of Andorra. The design
depicts the upper part of the entry portal of Casa de la Vall (the parliament’s
old seat), with the coat of arms of the country and a fragment of a window
above it. Two compact groups of human faces on both sides of the design, as if
they were stones of the building, mean the cohesion of Andorrans as a social
community united in history, institutions and values.
The inscription ‘600 ANYS DEL CONSELL DE LA
TERRA’ (600 years of the Council of the Land) at the top, and the name of the
issuing country ‘ANDORRA’ and both year dates ‘1419’ and ‘2019’ in the middle
of the number ‘600’ below complete the design. The coin’s outer ring bears the
12 stars of the European flag.
