Admont Abbey in Styria holds the world's largest monastic library still housed in its original baroque hall — a fact the abbey has traded on commercially for decades. This souvenir zero-euro note, issued for the 950th anniversary of the Benedictine foundation, is one of thousands of such pieces produced by Oberthur Fiduciaire under licensing arrangements with the European Central Bank that permit commemorative zero-denomination issues as collector items. They carry no legal tender status anywhere.
The security strip is largely symbolic here — present to satisfy the visual grammar of a "real" banknote, not to protect any monetary value.
