The zero euro souvenir note program launched in France in 2016, with Oberthur Fiduciaire handling production under license from the European Central Bank — which permits the format provided no denomination creates any possibility of actual tender. Museums, châteaux, and tourist sites sell them at face markup, typically a few euros, making the economics pleasantly circular for a note denominated at nothing.
The Musée national de la Marine in Paris held Napoleon's imperial barge as one of its most significant artifacts — the gilded vessel used for ceremonial river crossings. That provenance makes this among the more historically grounded subjects in the souvenir series, which tilts heavily toward regional landmarks and cartoon mascots.
