The Koblenz cable car, the Rheinseilbahn, was installed for the 2011 Federal Garden Show (Bundesgartenschau) and was intended as a temporary structure — it outlasted its original mandate by popular demand and has operated permanently since. This zero-denomination souvenir note is part of the EuroSouvenir program, which uses Oberthur Fiduciaire's security printing infrastructure to produce legally compliant collector pieces that carry no monetary function but must nonetheless meet the technical specifications of genuine euro-series paper currency.
Oberthur's involvement gives these issues a credibility that distinguishes them from novelty items — the substrate and production standards are the same house that prints circulating banknotes for multiple African and European authorities.
