Thiepval Memorial — the largest British battle memorial anywhere in the world — commemorates over 72,000 soldiers of the UK and South Africa who died on the Somme and have no known grave. The souvenir zero-euro program, launched by EuroSouvenir in 2015 and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire using genuine banknote security features including holograms and microprinting, has proved a more commercially durable enterprise than many expected. Individual site editions like this one are produced in limited runs and sold exclusively at the memorial itself or affiliated shops.
