2022 Andorra Copper-Nickel 2022 Andorra Copper-Nickel The legend of Charlemagne UNC UNC

Celebrate the enduring historical and legendary ties between Andorra and one of Europe's most influential figures with the 2022 Andorra 2 Euro Commemorative Coin "The Legend of Charlemagne." This coin pays tribute to Charlemagne (Charles the Great), the Frankish King and Emperor, who is famously credited with granting the Andorran people a charter in 805 AD in recognition of their assistance in fighting the Saracens, laying the foundation for the Principality's independence.

The reverse (common side) of the coin features the standard 2 Euro design depicting a map of Europe.

The obverse (national side) of the coin's design focuses on a stylized depiction of Charlemagne, often shown with a crown and a sword, symbolizing his imperial power and his legendary role in the formation of Andorra. The design may incorporate elements of the rugged Andorran landscape, emphasizing the deep connection between the figure and the mountainous principality. Inscriptions on this side include "CARLEMANY" (Charlemagne in Catalan), "ANDORRA," and the year of issue "2022."

Struck in standard bi-metallic composition typical for 2 Euro commemorative coins (a copper-nickel outer ring and a nickel-brass plated nickel inner core), this coin is released in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality. This means the coin exhibits a high standard of finish, with sharp details and original mint luster, making it ideal for collectors.

With a relatively low mintage for a Euro commemorative, the 2022 Andorra "The Legend of Charlemagne" 2 Euro coin is a significant acquisition for collectors of Eurozone commemoratives, those interested in European history, and particularly collectors of Andorran coinage.
