The 0 Euro souvenir programme, managed by the European Banknote Memory Organisation (EBMO), began in France in 2015 and expanded rapidly across Europe. Oberthur Fiduciaire prints the entire series to genuine banknote specification — same security paper, same intaglio printing — which is precisely what drives collector demand. These are not reproductions; they are manufactured to the same technical standard as circulating currency, simply assigned no face value to sidestep legal tender regulations.
Santo António — St. Anthony of Padua — was born in Lisbon in 1195, which makes him a Portuguese subject claimed enthusiastically by both Portugal and Italy. His feast day, June 13th, is a public holiday in Lisbon.
