0 Euro - 25 jaar Euromunten

The zero-euro souvenir note has been a commercial curiosity since PEBH and similar outfits began issuing them around 2015 — produced on genuine banknote paper by licensed security printers, they technically satisfy the legal requirement of bearing no monetary value while still carrying the euro design framework under license from the ECB. This particular piece marks twenty-five years of euro coins, a milestone that dates to January 2002 for banknotes but to January 1999 for the currency itself in electronic form, and 2002 for physical coinage — a distinction the title quietly collapses.

Oberthur Fiduciaire's involvement lends the note authentic production credentials; the same facility has printed legal-tender issues for numerous sovereign clients.
