EuroSouvenir notes carry no legal tender status anywhere — they exist as a licensed collectible format, printed to genuine euro security specifications by Oberthur Fiduciaire in France, which gives them a physical authenticity that souvenir paper typically lacks. This particular issue marks the thirtieth anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the largely nonviolent transition that ended Communist rule in Czechoslovakia in November 1989. The name itself — sametová revoluce — was reportedly coined by the dissident Rita Klímová, who would later become Czechoslovakia's ambassador to the United States.
