Oberthur Fiduciaire produced this zero-euro souvenir note for Prestige Philately Club Prague in 2020, part of the broader collector market for commemorative euros that expanded rapidly across Europe after the European Central Bank confirmed in 2015 that such items carry no face value and require no official monetary authorization. The model essentially privatized souvenir banknote production, allowing cultural institutions, tourism operators, and hobby clubs to commission security-printed paper on Oberthur's established currency substrate.
The philately theme is self-referential — a stamp collecting club issuing a note about stamp collecting treasures, printed on the same equipment used for circulating currency.
