EuroSouvenir's zero-denomination collector notes occupy a curious regulatory space — they are printed to genuine banknote specifications, including Oberthur Fiduciaire production, precisely to avoid any legal conflict with EU rules prohibiting euro-denominated novelty items. The Oude Kwaremont, a cobblestoned climb near Kluisbergen in East Flanders, has featured repeatedly in the Ronde van Vlaanderen since the 1970s and carries real weight among cycling enthusiasts — which is the actual target market here, not numismatists.
Oberthur's inclusion of a hologram strip on what is formally a zero-value souvenir reflects the program's insistence on production standards that mirror genuine currency, regardless of the note's legal tender status.
