In 2016, no circulation coins were minted. The reverse design (RV) meets the requirements set for all euro countries. 2-euro circulation coins, whose production started in 2014, show the coat of arms of Andorra on the obverse (OBV). And if such a specimen does turn up in circulation, it will quickly disappear into the pockets of collectors. The situation is similar to that of other small states that use the euro as their currency. Only on rare occasions and with a great deal of luck will you be able to find a national coin in circulation. Most euro coins that circulate in Andorra are from Spain or France. 2-euro commemorative coins are only issued in coin cards or as proof versions. Unfortunately, Andorra decided against issuing mint state 2-euro commemorative coins for circulation. I will present some 2-euro highlights in this overview. It was not until 2014 that the country started to have its own euro coins minted by the Spanish mint in Madrid and the French mint in Paris. Therefore, the euro became the official currency of Andorra on 1 April 2012. On 30 June 2011, Andorra and the EU signed a currency agreement. The heads of state of Andorra are the Bishop of Urgell and the President of France. The Principality of Andorra is located in the Pyrenees between Spain and France.
