EuroSouvenir notes occupy an odd corner of the hobby — legal tender denomination of zero, printed to official euro banknote specifications by licensed security printers, and sold as collectibles at tourist sites across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire's involvement gives them genuine production credentials: the same French firm prints circulating currency for numerous sovereign states, and the paper and security features here meet standards that most actual banknotes don't.
The Campener Leuchtturm, a nineteenth-century lighthouse serving the flat tidal mudflats of the Krummhörn peninsula in East Frisia, is an unlikely subject for a security-printed note. It has never appeared on German federal currency.
