Oberthur Fiduciaire produced this souvenir note commemorating the 2002 wedding of Willem-Alexander and Máxima Zorreguieta — the 2022 date reflects reissue or catalog registration, not a new printing occasion. The Euro Souvenir program, administered under license from the European Central Bank, permits these zero-denomination pieces to be produced on genuine banknote paper with real security features, which is precisely what makes them interesting to collectors: they are not novelty items but technically compliant currency-format documents.
The inclusion of a security thread and watermark at Oberthur's Chantepie facility brings the manufacturing cost well above any comparable souvenir print run. R. Faille's signature appears as issuing authority signatory for the series.
