The Barbarossahöhle — a gypsum cave system in Thuringia named after the medieval emperor Friedrich Barbarossa — is one of Germany's most visited show caves, and a reasonable enough subject for the EuroSouvenir program, which has issued hundreds of these commemorative zero-denomination notes since 2015. They are legal tender in the technical sense only: face value of nothing, collector value entirely dependent on the site and print run.
Oberthur Fiduciaire's involvement gives the physical note more security-printing pedigree than most souvenirs ever see.
