EuroSouvenir notes have no legal tender status anywhere — they are collector items sold at tourist sites and printed to standard euro banknote dimensions to give the impression of legitimacy they technically don't possess. Oberthur Fiduciaire handles production, the same firm that prints genuine currency for multiple governments, which is precisely the point: the security printing credentials lend the product its appeal. This example commemorates Piton de la Fournaise, one of the most volcanically active shield volcanoes on earth, situated in the French overseas department of Réunion.
