| Comments |
Eurosouvenirs notes — officially authorized by the Maison de l'Euro under the MEEA framework — occupy an odd corner of notaphily: legal in format, worthless by design, and increasingly collected with the same seriousness as genuine currency. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to full euro-specification tolerances, which is part of the point. The Coimbra issue joins a long queue of Portuguese city souvenirs in the series, Coimbra's appeal to the program resting heavily on its university, founded in 1290 and one of the oldest continuously operating in Europe.
R. Faille's signature appears across much of the modern Eurosouvenirs output — a house signature rather than a named official of any monetary authority.
