Zero-euro souvenir notes have been produced for the European collector market since 2015, with Oberthur Fiduciaire holding the dominant printing contract across the series. They carry no redemption value, no issuing bank mandate, and no legal tender status — the "0 Euro" denomination is a legal fiction that sidesteps EU regulations on private banknote issuance. The Kölner Dom subject is one of several hundred landmark-themed releases, printed on genuine banknote paper with a watermark to satisfy collector expectations of authenticity.
