Frédéric Mistral — the nineteenth-century Provençal poet and co-founder of the Félibrige movement — won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1904, one of very few writers ever honored in a language other than a major national tongue. His Occitan, not French, was the declared medium of the prize committee's recognition. The EuroSouvenir program, operated under license from the European Central Bank, has issued these zero-denomination collector pieces since 2015, printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire to full legal security specifications despite carrying no monetary value.
