The Baudelokapel — originally a 13th-century Cistercian abbey chapel in Ghent — had a long post-religious life as a library storage space before being repurposed as a food market. The Holy Food Market association took over the building and established a weekend market there, the souvenir note being issued in 2018 as part of the broader EuroSouvenir program that Oberthur Fiduciaire prints under license from the European Central Bank.
Zero-euro notes are legal curiosities: they carry the ECB's formal design specifications and security features — including Oberthur's proprietary UV and watermark elements — but no face value, making them neither legal tender nor collectible currency in the traditional sense. The ECB permits their production specifically because a denomination of zero creates no monetary liability.
