The EuroSouvenir program, administered by PEAG and printed by Oberthur Fiduciaire, produces legal-tender-adjacent collector notes denominated at zero euros — technically issued under European Central Bank framework tolerances that permit non-circulating commemorative notes. They carry no monetary obligation and are exempt from counterfeiting law in most EU jurisdictions precisely because of the zero denomination. Oberthur prints them with full security substrate and intaglio work, which is why they feel indistinguishable from circulating currency.
This example references Rembrandt's 1632 painting, one of the most analyzed works in Dutch Golden Age art history.
