EuroSouvenir notes are legal collector's items struck under license from the European Central Bank, which permits the zero-denomination format specifically to prevent confusion with circulating currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few private security printers with an ECB-approved mandate for the series, handles much of the production run for these commemorative issues.
This particular note anticipates Bulgaria's scheduled euro adoption — "Добре дошли в еврото" translates as "Welcome to the euro." Bulgaria has been in ERM II since July 2020, with a fixed lev-to-euro rate of 1.95583, the same peg the country has maintained against the Deutsche Mark and then the euro since 1997.
