The X2800 railcar, introduced by SNCF in the late 1950s, was a French-built diesel autorail that served rural secondary lines for decades before progressive withdrawal. This souvenir zero-denomination piece belongs to the EuroSouvenir program, which launched around 2013 and uses legal euro banknote dimensions and Oberthur Fiduciaire production to lend each issue genuine technical credibility — the same printer handles actual circulating currency for multiple central banks.
Oberthur's inclusion of a hologram places this above purely decorative print runs. Not collectible for scarcity — production was open-order — but the print quality and security feature integration make it a reasonable reference piece for the series.
