Comment

The first Paréage of Andorra (Catalan: Tractat de pareatge) was a feudal charter signed in Lleida on 8 September 1278. It codified a lay and ecclesiastical agreement between the Count of Foix, Roger-Bernard III, and the Bishop of Urgell, Pere d'Urtx, establishing their joint sovereignty over the territory of Andorra. The paréage established the system of condominium in Andorra, placing it under suzerainty of both lords. This system was later ratified in 1993 by the signing of the Constitution of Andorra.
A second paréage was signed on 6 November 1288, which supplemented and addressed a number of clauses in the first paréage. Together, these two paréages comprised the first basic law of Andorra, and were the nation's most important constitutional documents until the ratification of the Constitution in 1993.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design, showcasing a portrait of Joan Martí i Alanis, the co-prince of Andorra, on one side, and the coat of arms of Andorra on the other. This design was created by the artist, Antoni Miró, and it is a distinctive feature of this coin, making it stand out from other coins in the series.
