The EuroSouvenir program operates under license from the European Central Bank, which permits the production of zero-denomination notes provided they cannot be mistaken for legal tender — hence the "0 Euro" face value, which simultaneously invokes the currency and disqualifies the note from circulation. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of Europe's serious security printers with genuine currency contracts across Africa and beyond, produces these with the same substrate and security feature vocabulary used on collectible commemoratives.
Aslan is the fictional lion from C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia, first published in 1950. Licensing arrangements for such characters in the EuroSouvenir series have occasionally raised eyebrows among collectors who view the program skeptically — but the Oberthur production quality is not in question.
