Eurosouvenirs' zero-denomination collector notes occupy a legally clever niche: they carry the visual grammar of Euro banknotes — including genuine security features licensed from the ECB — without constituting legal tender, which sidesteps counterfeiting statutes entirely. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few private security printers with an active ECB production contract, handles the entire series, lending the physical substrate a credibility that souvenir printing houses cannot match.
The Keukenhof edition appeared in 2019, part of a run of Netherlands-themed issues aimed at the tourist trade. Keukenhof itself opens for only eight weeks annually.
