Launched by EuroSouvenir in partnership with regional tourism operators and cultural institutions, these zero-denomination collector notes occupy an odd but legitimate niche: they are printed by a fully licensed security printer — Oberthur Fiduciaire — on genuine banknote paper and carry the formal "0 Euro" denomination under a legal framework that sidesteps currency law precisely because they hold no monetary value. This particular piece marks the 45th anniversary of Vladimír Remek's 1978 Soyuz 28 mission, which made him the first person from a country other than the USSR or USA to reach orbit.
Remek flew under the Soviet Intercosmos programme, representing Czechoslovakia at the height of Cold War space diplomacy.
