0 Euro - Christmas 2020

The 0 euro souvenir note market expanded aggressively after the European Central Bank formally authorized their production in 2015, with Oberthur Fiduciaire securing a dominant position as the primary printer for the format. Banknoty Pamiatkowe is a Polish issuer operating within that collector-driven ecosystem, producing regionally themed pieces for the souvenir trade rather than for any monetary function. These notes carry genuine euro-series security features — watermark and security thread — because the ECB authorization specifically requires them, not as anti-counterfeiting necessity but as a condition of legitimacy within the scheme.
