Απόσπασμα: "peterjhalford"​What a horrendous example of obverse text!!!!

• Specify a brief and precise description of the devices engraved on each side of the coin.
  
• Do not add biographical notes about the subjects depicted on the coin. Biographical notes may be added in the general comments field.
  

I'll fix it up when I submit better pictures of this coin - Stay tuned.

I attempted to improve the obverse description of this coin (Very similar to the one mentioned above)

N#184042

This is the current obverse description …

Obverse

The design commemorates the 600th anniversary of the creation of the Consell de la Terra
(Council of the Land). It was a representative body created in 1419, predecessor of the Consell General (General Council),
the parliament of Andorra.
The design depicts the upper part of the entry portal of Casa de la Vall (the parliament’s old seat), with the coat of arms of
the country and a fragment of a window above it. Two compact groups of human faces on both sides of the design, as if
they were stones of the building, mean the cohesion of Andorrans as a social community united in history, institutions
and values.
The inscription ‘600 ANYS DEL CONSELL DE LA TERRA’ (600 years of the Council of the Land) at the top, and the name of
the issuing country ‘ANDORRA’ and both year dates ‘1419’ and ‘2019’ in the middle of the number ‘600’ below complete
the design.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

I changed it to this simple accurate description …

A depiction of the upper part of the entry portal of Casa de la Vall with the coat of arms of the country. Two compact groups of human faces on both sides of the design. The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

I moved the irrelevant part of the original obverse description to the comments viz …

The coin commemorates the 600th anniversary of the creation of the Consell de la Terra, (Council of the Land). It was a representative body created in 1419, predecessor of the Consell General (General Council), the parliament of Andorra.
The two compact groups of human faces on both sides of the coin are meant to convey the stones of the building, meaning the cohesion of Andorrans as a social community united in history, institutions and values.

But guess what? The referee rejected it? Sometimes you wonder why do you bother?

Use appeal button please, you can find it on your request page. :)

Jarcek

Use appeal button please, you can find it on your request page. :)

I have done so but with this particular referee who rejects many of my submissions I am losing my enthusiasm to improve Numista. I think you know who he is.

Mike

Euro coins have distinct referee from rest of coinage in those issuers. Just a note.

Just as a clarification, as Jarcek says, I am only referee of Andorra Pre-Euro coins (Diner coinage), not for the Andorra Euro catalog. 😇
