Andorra 2025 The bearded vulture

The obverse of the coin features a striking depiction of the head of a bearded vulture (Gypaetus barbatus), intricately detailed and facing right. The bird’s neck feathers, sharp eye, and hooked beak are clearly visible. This level of detail emphasizes the majesty of this animal, one of Europe’s largest birds of prey. As such, the design evokes power, vigilance, and nobility.

Beneath the bird’s image is the name of the issuing country, ANDORRA, in capital letters. Directly below this, the year 2025 appears in bold, clearly legible letters. The entire composition rests on a smooth background that highlights the relief of the central design. In addition, twelve stars surround the outer edge of the coin, in accordance with the requirements of the common design of the 2-euro coins, symbolizing the European Union.

The artistic style is intended to be realistic, which reinforces the educational significance of the coin. Indeed, the bearded vulture is a protected species, threatened in certain European regions, including the Pyrenees. Therefore, the choice of this motif also sends a strong message in favor of the conservation of endangered species. Moreover, this issue is part of a series of Andorran coins celebrating nature and native species.
