Zero-euro souvenir notes have been issued under licence from the European Central Bank since 2015, with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux among the most prolific institutional participants — producing site-specific pieces for state-managed heritage properties across France. Glanum, the Gallo-Roman settlement excavated outside Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, was occupied from roughly the 2nd century BCE through to its abandonment in the 3rd century CE, likely following Germanic raids.
Oberthur Fiduciaire prints these on genuine banknote paper with security features intact, which is precisely what makes them legal under ECB rules — zero face value eliminates the counterfeiting risk that would otherwise apply.
