EuroSouvenir notes occupy a peculiar niche — they are legal souvenir items produced under license from the European Central Bank, which permits the zero-denomination format specifically to avoid any conflict with counterfeiting law. Oberthur Fiduciaire, one of the few security printers in Europe with the technical clearance to produce euro-format material, handles the print run from France. The hologram strip is genuine security-grade production, not decorative foil.
The Puerta de Alcalá in Madrid was commissioned by Carlos III and completed in 1778 — one of the first neoclassical monuments built in the city, and long a fixture on Spanish commemorative issues.
