Vorderseitenbeschreibung At centre-left, an undated portrait vignette of the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias appears in the foreground, set against a background underprint reproducing an 1878 engraving of his fleet of ships rounding the Cape of Good Hope. The denomination '0 EURO' is printed at right alongside the 'EUROSOUVENIR' programme inscription and series reference '2021-1', with a row of five stars at lower right and the signature of R. Faille, C.E.O. of MEFJ.

A reproduction of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa occupies the right portion of the design, accompanied by the '0 EURO' denomination and the printer's imprint at lower centre.

Anmerkungen

EuroSouvenir notes occupy a peculiar niche: legal collector items denominated at zero, produced under license from the European Central Bank, which sets strict design rules to prevent confusion with genuine currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few security printers authorized for the program, handles the bulk of production from its French facilities.

Bartolomeu Dias rounded the Cape of Good Hope in 1488, the first European commander confirmed to have done so — though he named it the Cape of Storms, a name João II of Portugal reportedly overruled. A 2021 collector issue is a thin peg for that particular history, but the underlying story is genuinely worth knowing.
