EuroSouvenir notes occupy a curious regulatory niche: they are officially legal tender in the sense that they carry the Euro symbol and zero denomination, but were conceived entirely as collectibles under a scheme approved by Banque de France and later expanded across several eurozone tourist sites and commemorative programs. No central bank backs them as a payment instrument — the issuing entity is a private operator working under license.

Oberthur Fiduciaire, long one of France's primary security printers, produced this piece. The Qatar World Cup tie-in places it among dozens of similar zero-euro souvenirs issued that year, most sold at a retail price of around €3–5 each through vending machines or souvenir counters.
