Commemorating the 2011 beatification of John Paul II — the Polish-born Karol Wojtyła, who died in 2005 — this souvenir zero-euro note was issued a decade after that ceremony. The designer, Małgorzata Pławecka-Jasek, is one of a small number of Polish artists to have contributed to the Euro Souvenir program, which Oberthur Fiduciaire prints on genuine banknote cotton stock with a watermark, making these physically indistinguishable from legal tender in hand. They carry no monetary value and are not issued by any central bank — PLAF administers the licensing and distribution framework across Europe.
