Euroscope's souvenir zero-euro series has been printed by Enschedé since the concept launched around 2015, giving tourist notes a production pedigree far exceeding their face value. Enschedé's Haarlem facility has printed genuine currency for dozens of central banks over three centuries, so the security watermark here is not decorative — it's the same infrastructure applied to circulating notes.
Avignon's iteration was designed by Alexandra Metzen, who handled much of the Euroscope catalog output in this period. Collectible rather than spendable, but legally denominated at zero to sidestep EU regulations on private euro issuance.
