Filitosa is among the most significant prehistoric sites in the western Mediterranean — a Bronze Age sanctuary on Corsica occupied continuously for roughly 6,000 years, best known for its menhir statues, some of which were carved with facial features and weapons by the Torrean culture around 1500 BCE. The souvenir zero-euro format, produced under licence by Oberthur Fiduciaire using genuine banknote paper and security holograms, has been issued in the hundreds since the scheme launched in 2015 — which makes individual site issues collectible more by theme than by scarcity.
