This year, much later than usual, the Government of Andorra has presented the euro coins that it will issue in 2022, which, as usual, in even-numbered years, are minted in Spain by the National Currency and Stamp Factory – Royal House of the coin. I remind you that the odd ones are handled by the Monnaie de Paris.Before beginning to introduce you to the different currencies, let me tell you that neither the issue dates nor the recommended price of each product have been announced.
Coins with face of 1.25 euros
These are two cupro-nickel pieces in which two representative elements of the Principality of Andorra are represented.
One represents a squirrel (squirol in Catalan) and the other presents the church of Sant Joan de Caselles, one of the churches that has best preserved its Romanesque origins. The building was built between the 11th and 12th centuries, and follows the characteristic architectural scheme of the Romanesque churches in Andorra: a rectangular nave with a wooden roof, a semicircular apse and a Lombard-style bell tower. It also preserves two porches from the XV and XVI centuries. Inside you can see the remains of a 12th-century Romanesque stucco majesty, and the altarpiece, from 1527, is of great artistic quality, with influences from the Italian and Germanic Renaissance.

The Legend of Charlemagne

To finish, I leave you some data that reflects what the issuance of euro coins means for the coffers of the Andorran State.
In 2020, the Government obtained up to 3.5 million with the sale of euros, a figure higher than that of 2019. Then, the sale of these collector coins amounted to 3.22 million.
