0 Euro - Les phares de Bretagne - 1902 Phare de l'île Vierge

The Phare de l'Île Vierge, completed in 1902 off the Breton coast near Lannilis, is the tallest traditional lighthouse in Europe at 82.5 metres — a fact that gives this souvenir note more substance than most in the EuroSouvenir series. Oberthur Fiduciaire, which handles genuine security printing contracts across multiple countries, produces these collector pieces with the same intaglio infrastructure used for circulating issues, which is precisely the point: the zero-denomination format, introduced under EU tolerance for novelty items, legally sidesteps counterfeiting law by carrying no face value.
