0 Euro - Cathédrale de Chartres

Euro Souvenir notes are a commercial collectible series, not legal tender, produced under license from the European Central Bank and sold at tourist sites across the eurozone. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote specification — same security paper, same optical variable elements — which is partly the point: buyers get an artifact that feels authoritative while the ECB retains control over what the format can say and cannot claim.

Chartres Cathedral has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, widely regarded by architectural historians as the most complete surviving example of High Gothic construction in France. The souvenir program launched in 2014; individual site editions like this one are typically issued in limited runs and retired when stock sells through.
