| Comments |
The Museum of the Slovak National Uprising in Banská Bystrica commemorates the August 1944 armed resistance against the Nazi-aligned Slovak State — one of the largest anti-fascist uprisings in occupied Europe, suppressed within two months by German forces but politically central to Slovak national identity ever since. The zero-euro souvenir note format, a product of Oberthur's commercial licensing program launched around 2015, has become the dominant vehicle for this kind of institutional self-promotion across European cultural sites.
No legal tender status, no monetary function. Oberthur prints these to a consistent technical specification across hundreds of clients, with genuine security features retained partly for authenticity and partly because the machinery runs either way.
