The zero euro souvenir note program, administered by the European Banknote Memory Organisation, launched in France in 2016 and rapidly became a collector phenomenon — Oberthur Fiduciaire, the Rennes-based security printer with deep roots in French fiduciary production, handled the first wave of issues. These carry genuine euro-series security features, including the distinctive feel of the substrate, which is the same specification used for circulating notes.
Donzenac's choice of the Chapelle des Pénitents as its subject is locally pointed: the chapel belongs to a confraternity tradition once common across the Corrèze but now largely dormant.
