In 1866, a movement called the "New Reform" began in Andorra, initiated by the landowner Gillién de Plandolí i d'Aréno. This movement was an important stage in the history of one of the oldest states in Europe, officially governed by the President of France and the Bishop of La Seu d'Urgell.
Constitution of Andorra On April 14, 1866, Bishop Josep Caxal i Estrades drew up the first constitution of Andorra, which was officially adopted on May 31 of the same year. In 1869, it was ratified by the French King Napoleon III. According to this constitution, the General Council of Andorra consists of 24 people, who became the modern devices of the country.
In honor of this, 150 years later, Andorra issued a special coin of 2 euros. On the coin you will see the parliamentary chamber. This chamber is located in the Casa de la Vall. Casa de la Vall is featured on the Andorran 1 euro coin. At the top of the coin is the text 150 Anys de la Nova Reforma of 1866 (150 years since the reformation of 1866). Below the text is the year 2016. At the bottom of the coin is the country name Andorra. The coin comes in a numbered card featuring the back of the head of a member of parliament in his characteristic headdress.
