<p>[QUOTE=&quot;expat, post: 24739529, member: 111067&quot;]Cashing up tonight I discovered two little seen coins in our shop cash register. The first is a 1 Euro coin from Andorra, a tiny principality within the Spanish area near Barcelona.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mints: In even years, the coins were minted in Madrid (Spain), in odd years in Pessac (France)</p><p><br /></p><p>Casa de la Vall is a historical house in Andorra la Vella, Andorra. It is the headquarters of the General Council of Andorra. It lies just to the southwest of the Andorra National Library. It is a heritage property registered in the Cultural Heritage of Andorra. It was built in 1580 as a manor and tower defense by the Busquets family. In 1702 it was acquired by the &quot;Consell de la Terra&quot;.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582627[/ATTACH] </p><p>&nbsp;The second coin is from Italy and features a reference to Europa and the bull from ancient mythology.</p><p><br /></p><p>The center of the coin features Europa and the bull, with Europa holding a pen signing the text of the European Constitution and the mintmark to the upper-left with the initials of the engraver to the lower-left. The date is in the top-right above the head of the bull and the monogram of the Italian Republic slightly off-center at the bottom with the words &quot;COSTITUZIONE EUROPEA&quot; forming a semicircle underneath the central image, with the twelve five-pointed stars around the outer ring representing the European Union.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1582628[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
