| Obverse description | The quartered coat of arms of Andorra occupies the central field, enclosed within an ornate cartouche with decorative scrollwork. The shield displays the four traditional quarters: the mitre and crozier of the Bishop of Urgell, the vertical pales of the Count of Foix, the vertical pales of Catalonia, and two bulls passant representing the Viscount of Béarn. The denomination 25 DINERS appears in the upper legend, with the date 1964 prominently displayed at the bottom of the field. The motto VIRTVS VNITA FORTIOR is inscribed on a ribbon beneath the shield. |

| Additional information |
Andorra issued no official coinage of its own for general circulation until the 1980s — this 1964 piece is among the earliest collector-targeted issues produced under the co-principality's authority, a government jointly held by the Bishop of Urgell and the French head of state. The Napoleon I subject is not incidental: France's role as co-prince traces directly to rights established under Napoleonic-era administrative reorganization, making the choice pointed rather than decorative.
