Feature: 70 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Description: The design of the coin depicts seven
staircases (representing the seven parishes or administrative divisions
of Andorra) in the shape of mountains that lead to the valley, where
there is the name of the issuing country ‘ANDORRA’ and the year of issue
‘2018’. These staircases are, at the same time, the branches of a tree
symbolizing humankind, of which Andorra is an integral part. 30 leaves
come out of the branches of this tree representing the 30 articles of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Catalan inscription ‘70
ANYS DE LA DECLARACIÓ UNIVERSAL DELS DRETS HUMANS’ (70 years of the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights) surrounds the design,
strengthening this commemorative event. The coin’s outer ring bears the
12 stars of the European Union.
