| Comments |
Napoleon's inclusion in a Dutch monarchs series is the genuinely interesting decision here. His rule over the Kingdom of Holland — first through his brother Louis Bonaparte (1806–1810), then by direct annexation — lasted barely four years before he folded the territory into France entirely. Whether that qualifies as a reign worth commemorating in a Dutch sovereign series is a question the issuer sidesteps entirely by branding the note as collectible souvenir rather than historical statement.
Oberthur Fiduciaire's zero-euro souvenir format has been in continuous production since 2015, with hundreds of subjects issued across European tourist and heritage sites. The watermark is genuine security paper construction, not a printed simulation.
