Zero-euro souvenir notes were introduced by the Paris-based Euro Souvenir company in 2012, licensed by national central banks as legal tender in name but never intended for actual exchange — they circulate entirely within the collector market, sold at tourist sites, museums, and heritage locations across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints them to genuine banknote security standards, including embedded security thread, ultraviolet features, and intaglio printing, which makes them attractive to collectors who appreciate the production quality relative to the price point.
Napoleon I is among the most frequently issued subjects in the souvenir series, appearing across multiple designs from different vendors. The proliferation of Napoleon-themed issues has made date and design specificity essential when cataloguing — "Napoléon 1er" alone is insufficient for identification purposes.
