| Comments |
Allauch is a hilltop commune just northeast of Marseille, and its restored 18th-century windmill is among the better-known landmarks on the Étoile massif. The 0 Euro souvenir program, administered by UEGT and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, has produced hundreds of these collector pieces since 2015 — each one legal in denomination but never intended for monetary use, manufactured to ECB security specifications purely to sustain the tourist souvenir market.
Oberthur's involvement lends genuine banknote-grade paper and printing to what is essentially a philatelic product.
