Étretat's chalk cliffs have drawn artists since at least the 1860s — Courbet and Monet both worked the site repeatedly — so the choice of subject for this souvenir issue is hardly arbitrary. The 0 Euro series, launched by EuroSouvenir in 2015 and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire using genuine banknote-grade security paper and features, is technically legal tender at face value but was designed entirely for the collector and tourist market, never intended to enter circulation.
Oberthur's involvement gives these notes a production standard well above typical souvenir print runs — the same Chantepie facility that handles contracted currency work for multiple sovereign issuers.
