The set consists of 2 coins. One depicts the Saint-Antoine de la Grella bridge, the other the western court.
The Saint-Antoine de la Grella Bridge, also known as the Sispony Bridge, is a medieval bridge restored in the 20th century in the Principality of Andorra. It is located on the ancient royal road that connects La Massana with Andorra-la-Vieille, spanning the Valira Nord river. This bridge played a key role in communication and trade in the mountainous region. Its distance from the church of Saint-Antoine de la Grella suggests a possible connection with the social and religious life of that era. The restoration of this historic bridge preserves its significance as a testament to medieval engineering and the evolution of community life over the centuries.
The grebe, also known as the western grebe or Tetrao urogallus, is a large game bird that lives in mountainous regions and coniferous forests. Belongs to the Phasianidae family, has two subspecies in France: Tetrao urogallus major in the Vosges and Jura regions and Tetrao urogallus aquitanicus in the Pyrenees. This iconic species is associated with wooded and remote areas, preferring dense forests at high altitudes. Its impressive size and distinctive plumage make it a frequently observed bird during wildlife expeditions in mountainous regions.
