| Comments |
Marineland Antibes opened in 1970 as France's first marine animal park and remains one of the few European facilities that has bred orcas in captivity — a fact that made it controversial long before cetacean welfare legislation began tightening across the EU. This souvenir zero-euro note was issued under the EuroSouvenir program, which licensed Oberthur Fiduciaire to produce collector notes incorporating genuine euro-series security features, including the distinctive feel of cotton-fiber banknote stock.
Oberthur printed the entire EuroSouvenir catalog from its Chantepie facility near Rennes, applying the same intaglio process used on circulating currency — a deliberate choice that justified the program's premium retail price point.
