The zero-euro souvenir note program, operated under license from the European Central Bank, began in France in 2015 and has since expanded to hundreds of tourist-site editions across Europe. These notes carry no legal tender status anywhere — they are manufactured collectibles from the outset, never intended for circulation, which means condition is almost entirely a function of how the retailer stored them before sale.
Oberthur prints the series using genuine security paper and intaglio elements, deliberately mimicking production standards of circulating currency. The Alicante bullring edition is one of several Spanish regional issues released in 2024 as the program pushed further into Iberian tourism markets.
