The zero euro souvenir note program was launched in France in 2016 by Richard Faille, who recognized a gap in the collector market for legal-format novelty notes that could be sold at tourist sites without regulatory complications. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to the same security specifications as genuine euro banknotes — including the intaglio printing, UV-reactive inks, and embedded thread — which is precisely what drives collector demand. They are, technically, uncirculated by definition.
The Court of the Lions at the Alhambra is among the most-requested subjects in the program's Spanish-site catalog, with multiple reverse variants issued across different years.
