| Comments |
Rochefort-en-Terre, a medieval village in Morbihan, was voted France's preferred village ("Village Préféré des Français") in 2016 — the likely occasion being commemorated here. The EuroSouvenir 0 Euro program, launched around 2015, exploits a legal quirk: these notes are printed to European Central Bank dimensional and security specifications by licensed security printers, making them visually indistinguishable from genuine currency while carrying no face value and no redemption obligation.
Oberthur Fiduciaire's involvement lends the piece genuine security printing credentials — intaglio, UV-reactive inks, and microprinting are standard for the series, not decorative choices.
