Product Description
The 2019 Andorra 2 Euro coin '600 years of Parliament of Andorra' (also known as the Council of the Land) is the second €2 coin that Andorra issued in 2019. The Council of the Land (Consell de la Terra) was established in 1419 to address all the problems in the parishes of Andorra. Andorra has 7 parishes that all consist of a number of villages. Almost every parish has its own holiday. The parishes also have their own folk festivals that usually last 2 days! Tax policy differs from parish to parish in Andorra, something that is often unthinkable in other countries. Elections are held every 4 years in Andorra and 2 members are elected per parish. These 14 members together form half of the parliament of Andorra. The Andorra Parliament consists of 28 seats, the other half (14) being elected through proportional representation. On the face of this coloured 2 Euro coin a number of people who represent part of the parliament are depicted. In the centre the coat of arms of Andorra is shown. Written in an arc around the image is the text '600 ANYS DEL CONSELL DE LA TERRA' (600 years Council of the Land). The country name ANDORRA is also displayed. At the bottom of the co in are the dates 1419 and 2019. This coloured 2 Euro coin is packaged in a coin capsule.
