| Comments |
The EuroSouvenir program, administered through a network of licensed European tourist attractions and cultural sites, produces these zero-denomination notes as legal-curiosity collectibles — not legal tender in any jurisdiction, but printed to genuine banknote standards by Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the major French security printers whose client list includes actual central banks. The hologram strip is not cosmetic; it uses the same authentication-grade foil application Oberthur applies to circulating currency contracts, which is part of what distinguishes the series from novelty paper.
The Habano issue ties to cigar culture, likely a Spanish or Cuban-themed tourist venue. Without confirmed site attribution in the catalog data, the precise issuing location stays open.
